Riding when wet can damage the trails, and lead to costly repairs with prolonged closures. This also impacts the surrounding park, and risks rider safety.

We will continue to monitor the trails and reopen them when conditions improve. Please check nswparks.info/illawarra-mtn-bike or Trailforks before visiting, and follow park signs.
