Cycling and Trail Dirt Bike Riding

There are three main regional cycling routes east/west across the City:

1. Prospect Creek shared path connects to the Holroyd City network and Fairfield Town Centre (about 5km).
2. Bay to Mountains (Orphan School Creek) shared path connects to Mirambeena Regional Park, Bankstown and to Prospect Reservoir, Blacktown (about 20km).
3. Council has recently completed stages 1 to 3 of the Cabramatta Creek shared path, which has added to the overall distance of a minor shared path that comes off the Bay to Mountains network in King Park, Wakeley, and connects to Cowpasture Road via St Johns Park (about 7km).

There are two regional routes that travel north/south through the City:

1. Rail Trail cycleway connects Parramatta to Liverpool and links to Prospect Creek and the Bay to Mountains shared path network. This path connects to the Cabramatta Creek shared path when the next stages are completed and is about 7.5km long.
2. T-Way cycleway connects Parramatta to Liverpool and links to the Bay to Mountains and the St Johns Park shared path networks.

Motorised trail dirt bike riding facilities are not provided in Fairfield City because of the impact of noise to surrounding residents and damage to the environment.

Council has placed signs at many sportsfield to encourage residents to report any use of trail bikes to the Police on 131 444.

Local Police value the knowledge of illegal trail bike use as it helps to target this dangerous practice that has resulted in serious injury to the rider.

Fairfield Highway Patrol has issued fines and seized unregistered trail bikes used illegally. Police can also make applications to courts to have these vehicles permanently forfeited.
