Have Your Say on the Black Range Park Pump Track!

We’re excited to share the next stage of consultation for the Black Range Park Pump Track! 🎉 Thanks to your ideas collected in July, the team at Common Ground Trails has designed three unique pump track concepts.

Here’s what you told us:
✅ Scooters and mountain bikes are your top picks for the track.
✅ A mix of pump track and jumps features is essential.
✅ Separate areas for beginners and advanced riders are a must.
✅ Additions like BBQs, bins, seating, drinking water, outdoor gym equipment, and a bike repair station are priorities for the park at a later stage.

The Designs Are In! Now it’s your turn to choose your favourite:
🔷 Concept 1: Race Circuit – A classic pump track built for speed and technical riding with rollers and berms.
🔷 Concept 2: Jumps Loop – A single loop with a wide jumpline on one side and a return line featuring pump track staples.
🔷 Concept 3: Jumps and Flow – Combines jump line features, transfer options, and traditional pump track elements for a blended riding experience.

Winnie Em is a familiar face busking on the streets of Albury Wodonga or performing in local venues. The 18-year-old singer-songwriter plays a mix of covers and originals inspired by indie pop/rock and jazz influences. Her unique style comes from growing up in a musical household, with a family playlist that bounced between 80s rock, jazz classics, and orchestral music. Winnie Em’s originals explore themes of self-discovery, relationships, and the joys and sorrows of life. She’ll make you want to dance; she’ll make you want to sing, and maybe even bring a tear to your eye.

The Dunners are a young band from Northeast Victoria who have captivated audiences across the state of Victoria with their strong passion for writing and performing their amazing music.
