Dianella BMX Track

Dianella BMX Track at Dianella Regional Open Space is a brilliant spot for kids and teens to burn off energy on their bikes and scooters. The track sits among tall trees and natural bushland, offering plenty of shade and a relaxed, outdoorsy vibe. It’s the kind of place where kids can really have an adventure, rather than a perfectly polished, “sanitised” play space.

The track is essentially split into two distinct sections, catering for a wide range of ages and confidence levels. One side is a compacted limestone dirt track with rock climbs, balance beams and drop‑offs. It’s deliberately rough and bumpy, perfect for thrill‑seekers who love skids, slides and a bit of a challenge. Expect dust, dirty clothes and the odd skinned knee – it’s all part of the fun here, so long pants and closed‑in shoes are a good idea.

The other side is a much smoother sealed track, ideal for younger riders or kids who are still building their confidence. This section features a wooden ramp, small jumps and rollovers, flat ledges to scoot along and gentle undulating bumps to glide over. Little ones can stick to the flatter areas, while more experienced riders – including teens and adventurous parents – can use the ramps and bumps to build up speed and even catch some air.

Families will appreciate the practical touches around the track. A covered picnic table is positioned right next to the sealed section, making it easy to supervise while you sit down with a coffee or snack. There’s also a water fountain with a lower bowl designed for dogs, so furry family members don’t miss out. If you’d like to squeeze in your own workout while the kids ride, there’s fitness equipment nearby, as well as walking paths that wind through Dianella Regional Open Space. It’s an easy spot to “find your 30” minutes of exercise while still staying close to the action.

Toilet facilities, barbecues and more picnic tables are available just across the carpark next to the main Playground, so you can easily make a longer outing of your visit. Bring the bikes, scooters and helmets, pack a picnic or sausages for the BBQ, and you’ve got the makings of a full morning or afternoon outdoors. 

Dianella BMX Track is especially popular with mixed‑age families, as older kids tend to gravitate to the dirt section for more daring rides, while younger children spin laps on the sealed track. Even kids on everyday commuter scooters can enjoy it, though a sturdier scooter or bike with good tyres will handle the bumps better. Once they find their confidence, most kids are reluctant to leave – it’s the kind of place they’ll be asking to come back to again and again.

Whether you’re local to Dianella or looking for a new bike and scooter spot to explore in Perth’s northern suburbs, this shady, free BMX track is well worth adding to your weekend or school holiday list.
