The Sam Willoughby BMX Track at O'Halloran Hill has been shut indefinitely due to another major issue with the track's surface. The facility, considered a "state of the art" BMX facility, has been shut down multiple times in the past due to various problems, including flooding and drainage issues.
The highly anticipated Sam Willoughby International BMX Track at O'Halloran Hill, South Australia, has been closed indefinitely due to yet another major issue with its surface [1]. This state-of-the-art facility, which officially opened in January 2022, has faced multiple shutdowns in the past due to various problems, including flooding and drainage issues [1].Located on Majors Road, O'Halloran Hill, the facility is a significant addition to the region's sports precinct, featuring an international-standard BMX track, clubroom, and car parking [1]. The track, named after South Australian BMX star Willoughby, who represented Australia at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games, is equipped to host large-scale competitions such as state championships and BMX Super-cross World Cups [1].
The facility's closure is a significant setback for the local BMX community, which includes The Cove BMX and Happy Valley BMX Clubs [1]. Riders and enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting updates on the track's reopening.
In addition to the main BMX track, a second pump track was constructed alongside it for novice riders and the wider community [1]. This smaller track, which officially opened in May 2023, features a circuit designed to be ridden by pumping, generating momentum through up and down body movements instead of pedaling [1].
The closure of the Sam Willoughby International BMX Track is a reminder of the challenges faced in maintaining high-quality sports facilities. As the local community awaits updates on the track's reopening, it serves as an opportunity to reflect on the importance of continued investment and support for the development and maintenance of such facilities.
