- Yalbunullup mountain bike trails officially opened at community event
- Project includes seven kilometres of trails, 100-vehicle carpark, and large pavilion
- Part of Cook Labor Government commitment to improving facilities at Yellagonga Regional Park
Perth's northern suburbs are the place to be this summer with Yellagonga Regional Park now home to a new $4.57 million urban mountain bike trail network along the western banks of Lake Joondalup.
The seven-kilometre-long Yalbunullup trail network forms part of a newly developed, family-friendly area in the northern end of Yellagonga.
This area also features a pavilion, lakeside lookout, bike racks, water fountains, interpretive signage, pathways, landscaping, toilets, and a 100-vehicle carpark, making it more accessible for families seeking outdoor fun this summer.
Yalbunullup was chosen as the trail's name in consultation with Traditional Owners to reflect the traditional Noongar name for the area.
Having created about 100 jobs during the construction, the project was delivered by several local contractors and was overseen by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
