Townsville City Council is committed to providing parks, sporting fields and recreational areas that promote active lifestyles, bring people together and contribute to the wellbeing of our city. To deliver on this commitment, Council plans to upgrade the Townsville Dirt Jump Park located opposite the Murray Sports Complex to an asphalt pump track, renew existing irrigation, increase seating and pathways, and plant additional trees.

The project repurposes valuable existing public open space within an area of high-traffic sport and recreational use, laying within Murray Sporting Complex adjacent to Townsville Stadium, Townsville Basketball, and an off-leash dog park.
