The Malabar Park BMX & Community Facility, home to the Cockburn BMX Club is undergoing a $8.9M redevelopment and is currently closed for construction.
Update - May 2025
The new BMX track at Malabar Park is in its final stages of testing to ensure it meets the highest standards for riders of all levels. The City of Cockburn, in collaboration with Cockburn BMX Club is focused on delivering a standout facility for the community. The track will be open shortly with an official community opening event to be held on Saturday 28 June. We thank the community for their patience and look forward to the unveiling very soon.
What will the BMX facility include?
- A Union Cyclist Internationale (UCI) BMX racing track that can host large events
- A new 5m start ramp for training and racing
- New multi-purpose facility that includes areas for Cockburn BMX and Friends of the Community Inc.
- A new space for the wider community that includes a pump track, playground, public toilet and BBQ area
- New car parking.
As part of the City’s commitment to community, the Malabar Park BMX & Community Facility will now serve as the home base for Friends of the Community Inc., a local charity dedicated to reinvesting all proceeds from food sales at events back into the local community.
Funding for the redevelopment includes $8.78M from the City of Cockburn, a $100,000 grant for floodlighting from the State Government, through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF), and a commitment of $20,000 from the Cockburn BMX Club upon completion of the project.
The State Government, through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, is a major supporter of community sport and recreation facilities in Western Australia. Sport and recreation builds stronger, healthier, happier and safer communities. When we play sport our whole community wins.
