Riverbend Park to Tailrace Park

Discover the joys of a 4km family-friendly cycling adventure from Riverbend Park to Tailrace Park, a leisurely 30–45 minute journey each way.

City sights ride

Begin your cycling adventure at the historic Brickfields Park, followed by coffee respite on George Street (Amelia Coffee Co. and Sweetbrew are great go-tos), and a visit to Design Tasmania for a touch of local craftsmanship. Explore off-road pathways along the scenic embankments of the North Esk River and meander through Heritage Forest. Conclude with a relaxed ride back to the city centre, taking in the beauty of kanamaluka / the River Tamar.

The course spans an accessible 16km and takes about 1–2 hours.
