A PUMP track and jumps are planned for a BMX park in Dianella.
The City of Stirling is seeking feedback, particularly from young people, on a design for the facility at Dianella Regional Open Space.
The first stage of the project is proposed to include a pump track, viewing space, shelter, drinking fountain and bike racks, with a jump track and skills trail to come in the second stage.

READ NOWAccording to the City, consultation undertaken in 2018 garnered overwhelming support for a BMX facility.
Mayor Mark Irwin said it would help connect young people.
“Skate and BMX parks that are designed well provide valuable face-to-face connections for a very important and sometimes isolated demographic in our community,” he said.
“We have seen the advantages of this in Scarborough and looking forward to providing Dianella with those same benefits.”
“One quarter of Stirling’s population is between the ages of five to 24 and our strategy has identified that a facility such as this will create an active and vibrant City while contributing to the health and wellbeing of residents.”
Feedback is open until March 8 here.
