WHEN TO RIDE

Park hours:

Warburton Bike Park is open daily during daylight hours. Please plan your ride to finish before sunset.

Shuttle operation:

During School Holiday periods the shuttle service will operate 7 days a week. Currently, during off-peak periods it will reduce to running on Saturdays and Sundays only. We will continue to monitor demand and open up new services when demand is sufficient.

We do cater for private mid-week group bookings outside of the scheduled services. This is perfect for large group bookings, school groups or corporate bookings. Check out the Groups page for more details.

Daylight hours in Melbourne change with the seasons, from about 9½ hours in winter to nearly 15 hours in summer. During summer, long evenings give you plenty of time to ride, while winter means shorter days and earlier finishes. Always plan your ride to start and end within daylight hours for safety.

Warburton Bike Park may close at short notice due to conditions such as Total Fire Ban days, severe weather, flooding, or landslips. Rider safety is our priority, so please check our website and social media channels for the latest updates before you travel.
