Ode to people who build physical environments that increase the physical activity of people. 

The original BMX track was built in the 1980s but was not wide or long enough to meet racing regulation to reach competition standard and become affiliated with BMX Victoria. Former state and national title competitor and BMX Victoria A pro, Nathan Evans, gave up his annual leave to begin stage one of the track upgrade in 2019. Council’s recreation coordinator said in the past years, the condition of the track had declined as jumps and berms eroded and lost shape. “Nathan got in touch with us regarding his desire to improve the track,” he said. Leongatha Garden Supplies provided landfill for stage one.

“Council will continue to work with Nathan to support his dreams of a local club to run coaching and come and try days at the track.
“If there is enough local interest, this could expand to hosting races and events at the site. This is another fantastic example of the wonderful work undertaken by many dedicated volunteers to provide sport and recreation opportunities for our community right across South Gippsland.” (the Star, Feb 2019) 

The generous APEX Community legacy fund has assisted with the development of the BMX TRACK
