Bike jump facilities

We know digging and riding bike jumps is fun — we love seeing young people active and on their bikes!
But not all areas are suitable for jumps. Building them in the wrong places can:

• Create serious safety hazards for others using the park
• Damage important native plants and animal habitats
• Disturb Kaurna cultural areas and heritage protected by law

We’re responsible for keeping everyone safe and caring for our natural and cultural spaces — so sometimes we need to remove jumps that are built in the wrong spots.

Unauthorised jumps are not inspected or built to any standard.
This can result in:

• Holes, rocks and obstacles becoming trip hazards
• Damage affecting playgrounds or high-use recreation areas
• Unexpected hazards for walkers, children and pets

We want everyone enjoying our parks safely — riders and non-riders alike.

The places we enjoy today have been culturally important to Kaurna people for thousands of years.
Digging in coastal areas, waterways or bushland may disturb:

• Aboriginal cultural sites
• Objects or remains protected by law

Preserving these places ensures they remain respected for future generations.

Our forests, coastlines and reserves are home to unique plants and animals — some are threatened or endangered.
Unauthorised digging can:

• Remove native plants and disturb habitats
• Cause erosion and damage tree roots
• Impact wildlife that relies on these spaces to survive

These environments are here for everyone to enjoy — let’s keep them healthy.

We install appropriate signage and assess each site individually.
Jumps will be removed if:

• Safety risks are identified
• They impact other park users
• Cultural or environmental values are being harmed

Removal may include filling in holes, flattening surfaces, removing rocks or debris and replanting vegetation to restore the area.
