Rideburnside Burnside Pump Track
Rdeburnside 2022 track locations have been announced and after its initial trail rotating four locations, they have announced another year of four locations.

Goolwa Skate Park and Pump Track
Is Goolwa Skate Park THE most colourful bowl in Australia? How cool is the artwork all over this skate park. Three local street artists were commissioned in 2017 to go to town with their street art skills, with the aim of preventing crime by deterring unwanted graffiti. We love it!
