History of Maydena Bike Park
Developed by Dirt Art and opened in January 2018 on former forestry land around Maydena as a tourism regeneration project for the Derwent Valley. The park was built to repurpose the forestry area and has since expanded to become one of Australia's most extensive gravity mountain bike destinations.
