Here is a list from Wikipedia:

Does anyone know if Merrylands is open on weekends (eg, afternoons)? I want to put in a lot more laps on the velodrome than just Monday/Wednesday/Friday.

Wyatt Park is open to the public during the day while the groundskeeper is there. He is usually there 6am to 2:30pm.
Hurstville is inside the cricket ground and I don't think it publicly accessible.
Tempe isn't publicly accessible
DGV is open during the day unless there is specific training on for NSIS or similar. The website has the lock-out times. DGV is $10 for "unlimited" time, but unless you've ridden it before, you're going to have to use it under competent supervision.
That's pretty much it for Sydney.
Xplora - FREE racing on this Friday night at Wyatt Park. Come out and play.

BFV: I might get out to Wyatt on Saturday and Sunday in the morning and just ride until my legs scream no more.

BFV, the freebee nights are on my radar, honestly I don't mind paying, it's the bike loan that is more important lol

Come out to the track on Friday. If we have a bike available in your size, I'll hook you up. Club members get first pref, though. It's worth having a look at any rate. We have a few Penrith guys come out, so you won't be alone.

Tracks were pretty commonly built around cricket/football ovals in country towns. The number that are steeper banked velodromes is smaller.Xplora wrote:Amazing how many tracks are in regional areas!! Cheers all. I doubt I can come tonight, son was ill last night. Are the loan bikes an ongoing option, BFV?
Break down is:
ACT 1
NSW 31 (5 in Sydney) - took out Wiley Park and added Bowral.
NT 2
QLD 14
SA 8
TAS 11
VIC 27 (9 in Melbourne)
WA 3
TOTAL 97

Come along to Lidcombe on Friday nights in the Spring/Summer and race. Come along to DGV during Friday nights in winter and race.

Other than that, it's closed unless by prior arrangement (and payment of track hire).

I'll try to get to Lidcombe on a Tuesday morning, though I guess its a bit of a lottery.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread. I was just wondering if access to Wyatt Park is still the same as this thread suggests (6-2:30)? Also, could I ride a recumbent bike (with brakes) on this track? I just want to do 200W for an hour and see what speed it does.
Cheers!
