The development and promotion of mountain biking in Wellington Park is guided by the Wellington Park Bike Strategy 2005. The 2005 Strategy followed the five year review of the Bike Strategy 2000, itself prepared in accordance with the Wellington Park Management Plan 1997. The Strategy provides a framework for the sustainable use of the Park for bike riding, and identifies education and awareness materials required.
One of the key recommendations from the Strategy was for the Trust to continue providing resource support for the long term development of the Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park (GMBP). The Bike Park is a collaborative development undertaken by the Trust, Glenorchy City Council, the Office of Sport and Recreation, the Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park Association Inc., and the local riding community. Located behind Tolosa Park in Glenorchy, the GMBP has developed opportunities for many levels and styles of mountain bike riding, and provides a quality facility for local and interstate riders. The park has been successfully hosting rounds in the National series.
The Strategy also identifies the issue of access from The Springs to Junction Cabin. The North South Track is now open providing mountain bike access on a shared use track from the Springs to Shoobridge Bend and on to Junction Cabin. Funding has been approved for the third and final stage to extend the track to the Glenorchy section of Wellington Park, and linking to the GMBP.
