Maydena Bike Park Tasmania – Set to Launch Early 2018
The Maydena Bike Park development team are pleased to announce the release of the park’s web site, social media channels, and concept plans.
The Maydena Bike Park will be a full time, year-round gravity bike park, located in stunning wilderness in Tasmania’s Derwent Valley, a 1:15 hour drive from Hobart. The park is being developed by renowned trail building company, Dirt Art (www.dirtart.com.au). The Park utilises the currently disused ‘Eagles Eyrie’ building, a multi-million dollar visitor centre located over 800 vertical metres above the township of Maydena. A network of over 60km of gravity-focused (all mountain/enduro and downhill) trails will connect the summit with the park’s base building in the town centre, offering over 800m of vertical descending across a range of trails for all abilities.
Trail concept plan.
The bike park base building will include; café, bar and beer garden, bike hire, bike shop, skills clinics and tours and retail area.
Proposed adapative re-use of the old Maydena Primary School.
Construction is due to start mid 2017, ready for an opening in early 2018.
More project information include concept plans can be found at www.maydenabikepark.com or via social media; Facebook- Maydena Bike Park and Instagram- @maydenabikepark

Great to see the mountain bike tourism thing really starting to get some traction in Australia. Tasmania seems to be at the forefront, perhaps because they realise more than most that tourism dollars are crucial to the local economy. Keep up the great work for the benefit of local businesses and mountain bikers!!

I guess they've seen what trails have done for Derby. Yeah, looking good. I've always loved going down to Tassie. Say 'No' to deforestation!

I wouldn't bother with Tassie; its stupidly hot, no culture to the place and the beer and food are rubbish...

Good to see the state heavily investing more into MTB, wish it'd happen up here in SEQLD more!
