Healesville Bike Circuit a hit



The Melbourne Playground website has named Queens Park in Healesville as home to one of the best bike circuits around.

Combining fun and education and fun the circuit provides a great way for families with kids to practice their riding and scooting.

A Department of Planning and Transport spokesperson spoke positively about the use of bike circuits by kids, especially when combined with bike education in schools.

“We encourage riders to keep up their skills and confidence by using safe spaces like safety circuits,” they said.

Safe circuits provide kids with a vehicle free environment to improve their cycling skills.

The bike circuit has a bumpy circuit, obstacles to ride around and even a roundabout.

There are also picnic tables, BBQ and water tap nearby plus an oval, basketball court, tennis courts, skate park, BMX track, playground and netball courts to keep everyone busy.

The Healesville bike circuit has been open since 2016 and remains an asset to the community.
