This small park is great for young kids between the ages of 5-8 and beginner BMX riders. It’s a great park for kids in the afternoon to practice some small jumps or ride around the little pump track. It will keep young kids and beginners entertained for a few hours. However, the facilities in the park aren’t big enough to support a large birthday party or experienced riders. Don’t get me wrong, this park is great for the afternoon, but I would recommend the bigger BMX parks for birthday parties or older riders.
Address: Muriel Ave, Moorooka QLD 4105

The Charlie Buckler Memorial BMX track is a small pump track for younger kids. The track does not have any challenging jumps for experienced riders so older riders may get bored quickly.

Runaway Bay skate park is an awesome park for all ages to BMX ride when your kids want to do tricks. There are lots of jumps and a great skate bowl so all ages can ride together in harmony. However, there is no pump track for dirt bike riding so keep this in mind. My advice would be to beat the crowds and get there so your kids get the best out of this amazing skate park.
