New Burpengary Tracks to Give Locals Safe Riding Space in ‘The Shadows’ 

Caboolture locals will soon have their own place to ride, with City of Moreton Bay developing a 3-kilometre mountain bike trail network in neighbouring Burpengary bushland. The tracks are being built beside Grogan Road Park, an area riders know as “The Shadows,” transforming a familiar patch of scrub into a safe space for families and cycling clubs.

The $700,000 project includes three distinct trails: a flow line, a jump line, and a climbing and return link. Each trail is designed to offer something different, whether it’s rollers and berms for younger riders or jumps and tabletops for those looking to push their skills. The mix is intended to suit both beginners and experienced cyclists, allowing the whole community to use the space.

What’s Being Built

Features include wooden berms, dirt jumps, boardwalks and rollers, all built by a professional trail construction company. The design gives riders a structured, safer alternative to street riding or informal tracks.

Council announced in April 2025 that construction would begin immediately, with the first stage clearing trails through the Burpengary bushland. The project is scheduled to be completed by late 2025, pending favorable weather conditions.

This project is part of a broader commitment to outdoor recreation spaces across the City of Moreton Bay.

Local Voices and Community Impact

The trails would be built by specialists and provide a much-needed facility for local families, riders, and schools. Cycling advocates, including Bicycle Queensland, have highlighted the project as a boost for the region, giving young people a dedicated space to practice skills and reduce pressure on public roads.
