Creswick Trails and Hammon Park Trailhead are transformative projects for Creswick and the region. Once complete, the two projects will form a network that will feature 60 kilometres of purpose built mountain bike trails through the Regional Park, State Forest and plantation lands, just outside of Creswick with a trailhead located at Hammon Park.

Hammon Park Trailhead will feature parking, amenities including a Changing Place accessible toilet, maps, signage, learn to ride tracks, BBQ area, nature play area and a series of cyclocross jumps.

The project has a dedicated website www.creswicktrails.com where you can view maps and documents, join the mailing list and read the most up to date progress updates.

Hammon Park Trailhead (Water Street, Creswick) is complete and has been formally opened for use.

In addition to serving as the trailhead for the Creswick Trails, Hammon Park is now a fully self-contained community-focused reserve with cycling being the primary activity, for all ages.

We will be celebrating the opening of the Trailhead as part of the Dirty Pig and Whistle cycling event this coming weekend.

In other exciting news, Construction has commenced on the Creswick Trails. Follow along at creswicktrails.com/progress.

Our contractor Dirt Art commenced works earlier this year and is progressing well ahead of the wet, winter weather.

We anticipate the Trails Network to be ready by late 2024. However, we will be posting progress photos as they become available.

Important Note: Please avoid the Trails construction site. Any use of partially constructed trails will delay our schedules and the ultimately, the opening of the Network.

Please reach out for more information.
