The Hill is a public mountain bike park with jump lines for all riders to enjoy.

Located on approximately four hectares of land on the corner of West Fyans Street and Shannon Avenue, Newtown, The Hill features five tracks catering from beginner to intermediate riders. 

In response to community consultation to refurbish the jump lines, our trail designers focused on making the three tracks more engaging and challenging for beginner, intermediate, and advanced riders. Our 2026 priorities include:

• Advanced jumps with reinforced jump ramps and features for continued progression.
• Improved site layout to remove points of conflict and make movement through site more intuitive.
• Designated beginner and spectator areas for parents/guardians.

The Hill is the only dedicated mountain bike park in Greater Geelong outside of the You Yangs and features three cross country trails, a skills track and a pump track. By staying on the path, respecting planted areas and sharing the trail responsibly, users help protect this valuable vegetation so it can continue to be enjoyed by the community and future generations.
