Pump track opening
THE $400,000 Warrina Lakes pump track opens tomorrow from 10am to 12pm.
A council spokeswoman said it was “going to be a pedal-tastic day filled with jaw-dropping artwork by Toshandai Fejo and enough fun to make your spokes spin”.
“The Etty Bay Surf Life Saving Club will be grilling up the barbecue and offering refreshing cold drinks to raise funds for their club,” she said.
“Join us and support their cause while enjoying some delicious food.”
As well there will be free face painting, balloon artistry, a circus interactive play area and a lucky door prize.
“Additionally, the council will provide three bicycles available for use from 10am to 12pm, so you can test out the pump track. Feel free to bring your bikes, skates, and more for a wheelie good time.”
The council undertook successful community consultation on the draft design late last year and into early 2023, obtaining valuable feedback. The final design includes two pump tracks, a smaller one for beginners and a larger track that includes roller and large berms, rollers, multiple transitions, dragon back and doubles. The project was made possible through $400,000 funding from the federal government.
