Notification of scheduled works Wylde MTB

Construction works – Western Sydney Parklands – Cecil Park Precinct (Range Road, Cecil Hills, NSW)

We wish to inform you of ongoing staged construction activity in the Cecil Park Precinct within Western Sydney Parklands. Over the next twelve months, there will be changed conditions when visiting the Wylde Mountain Bike Trail (MTB) and accessing our tracks and trails from Cecil Hills, via the footbridges over the M7 Motorway.

Construction activity has commenced in the Cecil Park Precinct with Sydney Water installing pipelines; and the M12 Motorway team continuing their ground investigations works to inform the environmental approval process for the project.

The Wylde Mountain Bike Trail (MTB) will shortly commence works to partially relocate the trail to an area immediately adjacent to the existing Wylde MTB within the Parklands. Relocation works will include a new access road constructed off Range Road which will provide entry to both Sydney International Shooting Centre and the new Wylde MTB. Please see the map with construction work details and scheduled dates.

Changed conditions at the entry to Wylde MTB

We like to advise that Sydney Water major pipeline works are being conducted on the Gunbarrel Highway section of Wylde MTB from 23 September 2020 until further notice.

To avoid these works, changed conditions at the entry to the Wylde MTB trail are in effect, with a left-hand diversion in place shortly after the trail head.

The Kids Loop is open, but the loop has been shortened to avoid the works. Please follow the trail signs for directions.

Vehicle access to the Wylde MTB’s car park remains as normal.

The Trust is committed to minimising disruptions to our visitors. Thank you for your patience during this time.
