It's no surprise that kids love to ride. It’s fun and exciting; it gives them a sense of freedom and builds their confidence. Moreover, bike riding gets them outdoors into the fresh air and keeps them active, and once you’ve invested in the bikes or scooters and helmets, it’s free!

But knowing where to find the best bike tracks in Sydney to take your little learners or bigger riders to explore is key. We’ve put together some of Sydney’s best bike parks and bike tracks for kids or all ages to enjoy and learn - beep beep!

Mini track for mini me's learning to bike ride. Surrounds good play equipment suitable for kids up to 8 years. Entire playground fenced off from road but keep an eye kiddies don't disappear into the bush at the bottom of the park. Best for pre schoolers but take the whole family for a picnic. Gymea Bay Rd, Gymea Bay.
