A Heartfelt Thanks to ACT Government for Supporting the All-Abilities Bike Precinct

The creation of the All-Abilities Bike Precinct has been a groundbreaking step in making inclusive recreation a reality for children of all abilities in Canberra. But this achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support from the ACT Government's Community Sport Facilities Program, spearheaded by Minister Yvette Berry and the Department of Sport and Recreation.

Their generous funding has provided the necessary financial foundation to transform this dream into a tangible, impactful community asset. The precinct, which features a road-safety learn-to-ride track and adaptive cycling paths, is designed to be an inclusive space where children with disabilities or from disadvantaged backgrounds can learn, play, and thrive.

The Importance of Funding for Community Sports Infrastructure

The Community Sport Facilities Program is dedicated to developing and upgrading sports facilities to ensure that all Canberrans have access to safe, high-quality recreational spaces. The funding provided by this program for the All-Abilities Bike Precinct has enabled us to create a space that not only teaches road safety and cycling skills but also fosters independence, confidence, and community engagement among children who may not have had access to such opportunities before.

Transforming Lives, One Ride at a Time

With the support of the ACT Government, this bike precinct will serve as a critical resource for families across the region, offering free or low-cost access to adaptive sports and recreation. By reducing the financial and physical barriers that often prevent children with disabilities from participating in community sports, this project is paving the way for a more inclusive future—one where every child has the opportunity to experience the joy of cycling, regardless of their abilities or background.

Minister Yvette Berry has been a passionate advocate for creating inclusive sports opportunities, and her leadership in this initiative has been invaluable. Through her commitment and the Department of Sport and Recreation’s efforts, this precinct will not only be a hub of activity but also a beacon of inclusivity and community spirit.

Thank You for Helping Us Make an Impact

We extend our deepest gratitude to Minister Yvette Berry, the ACT Government, and the Department of Sport and Recreation for their unwavering support. Your contribution is not just about building a facility—it’s about creating a legacy of inclusivity, empowerment, and joy for generations to come.
