The unofficial centre of mountain biking on the Sunshine Coast. Parklands established itself as a gnarly, rocky, testing, series of fireroads in the early days that was frequented by motorbikes, logged and a bit of a dumping ground for lazy sods that couldn’t be bothered using the tip next door.
These days, Parklands is alive and well and extremely popular.
It’s a tough series of tracks that snake and wind through the ups and downs of the 655 hectares of conservation area.
The Bushrangers MTB Club runs regular trail care days at Parklands, in consultation with the QPWS Rangers.
To find out when the next trail care day is happening and how you can help, follow us on Facebook.
The Bushrangers MTB Club invests a lot of time and resources in to building and maintaining trails and infrastructure within Parklands – for the benefit of both members and non-members.
The club also receives financial support in the form of a Partnership with the Sunshine Coast Council. Without their support, the trail maintenance and infrastructure wouldn’t be delivered.
Parklands Conservation Park was gazetted as a forest reserve in 2001 and became a conservation park in 2006.
Parklands Conservation Park is managed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 to preserve and present its natural and cultural values in perpetuity.
Bushrangers MTB Club would like to acknowledge the ongoing support (in both resources and financial) received directly from QPWS to help us build and maintain the trails. Without them, these trails wouldn’t be here.
