Velodrome Master Plan showing the proposed relocated flat track course, criterium track and pump track location

Bagot Park has seen many changes over the years, from a gravel pit to being the home of Darwin speedway in the 1960s, to becoming a park and sporting facility today.

Bagot Park, on the corner of McMillans Road and Bagot Road, now caters to a range of recreation activities including a playground, soccer grounds, velodrome and a large public open space area.

City of Darwin is working with Cycling NT and Triathlon NT on upgrades to the Velodrome to improve the facilities for community use and the sport of cycling. There are some upgrade elements that have been approved by Council and some elements that were open for community consultation.

What is approved?

The following upgrades have been approved by Council:

  • A 250m concrete track upgrade with 30–35 degree banks with safety fencing
  • Replacement lights for the velodrome track

What was open for community consultation?

Cycling NT and Triathlon NT have proposed three additional elements to create a Velodrome Precinct. The additional three elements would be located in the open space area next to the Velodrome. These elements are:

  • Relocated bike skills park – a dirt flat track course with jumps and slalom style activities. This is currently located inside the Velodrome
  • New criterium track – a closed circuit cycle path surrounding the proposed Velodrome Precinct
  • New pump track – a continuous loop with banked turns and mounds that you ride without pedalling, the ‘pumping’ motion is used to maintain speed
