Victoria Park / Barrambin - Urban pump track
Brisbane City Council is commencing construction on the urban pump track at Victoria Park / Barrambin.
A pump track with some skateable elements will create a new destination for Brisbane families. The pump track offers a space for younger children to practice and expand on their riding skills, along with a picnic shelter and seating, creating the perfect day out for the whole family.
This project is part of the early stages of the overall Victoria Park / Barrambin Master Plan.
The urban pump track will be located in the north-west corner of the park in Herston, off Herston Road.

Project timing
Construction is expected to commence in early October 2023 and be completed in late 2024, weather and constriction conditions permitting.
Works will occur between 7am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, with some Saturday or night works required.
Every effort will be made to minimise disruption to the local community. Council is committed to keeping you informed and will provide advance notification of any out-of-hours works.
As works progress, Council will provide local residents and businesses with updates about the project, included construction timing and expected impacts.
Construction impacts
Victoria Park / Barrambin will remain open during the works, however fencing will be in place to enclose the construction area and stockpile area, for the safety of workers and the community.
There will be some construction noise, minor dust, minor vibration, and increased vehicle movement in the surrounding streets, including movements from the work site to the stockpile area, and within the park.
Excavated materials (soil and excess material removed during construction excavations) from the urban pump track site will be stockpiled in an area to the left of the main Victoria Park visitor entry off Herston Road. Material is being stockpiled to use for future stages of the Victoria Park / Barrambin project.
The community can expect temporary access changes to the pathways around the park. Signage will be in place to guide pedestrians and park users.
