The Park Orchards BMX Club has been in existence for more than 25 years. It is a sporting club that aims to provide organised training and race events for participants wishing to get involved in BMX racing as a sport. The club currently has a diverse group of members covering both genders and ranging in age from 4 to 50+. The club is friendly and child oriented with the sport of BMX being particularly well suited to getting everyone in the family involved.
The club’s track is built on Manningham Council land and falls under the local Council’s jurisdiction. Therefore the track is open to the public whenever official club racing or training events are not running, so you can come and try out the track anytime. The track is maintained by club members, so when you come and visit our track please look after it and our club members will thank you.
Park Orchards BMX Club is affiliated with Bicycle Motocross Australia (via BMX Victoria), so club members also have the opportunity to compete in the many open competition race meetings held throughout Victoria or the rest of Australia.
