montgomery park playground and pop up pump track, essendon
/Grab your bikes or scooters and head down to Montgomery Park to ride the pump track before it heads to its new location! It’s is challenging enough for kids who are confident on their BMX bikes with a range of hills and a good amount of turns, but small enough that new riders can make their way around and build up their confidence.
The pop up pump track is set to be moved to another park sometime in 2025, through a rotating project run by the Moonee Valley Council. The council has been assessing the usage of this pop up modular track in order to establish if a more permanent facility will be built at this location. All the more reason to head down to check it out, and hopefully Mamma will be back one day soon to show you a new pump track here, stay tuned!!
The track compliments the huge slide and small playground already existing at this vast green space. You’ll find a large climbing frame, nest swing, tractor rocker and a swinging seesaw. Please note, the swinging seesaw will swing side to side but won’t complete a full 360 degree spin, so make sure kids are holding on tight or just go up and down. There’s also a few tables and chairs near the playground, which are great to rest on after a few trips up to the top of the slide!
