Jamestown Gymnasium

Pump some iron or tackle the treadmill at Jamestown’s well-equipped community gymnasium.

Access is available 24-7 by purchasing a short term membership from the Northern Areas Council office, 94 Ayr St Jamestown, during working hours.

Skate Park

Perfect your moves at Jamestown’s Skate Park. It is conveniently located just east of Jamestown’s main street on Cockburn Rd. Keep your camera handy to capture that ‘perfect stunt’.

Walking/Hiking

If you want a gentle walk, stroll along the Belalie Creek. If you are more of a power walker, take to the Jacka Creek Walking Trail, a 2 km linear trail that snakes along the western edge of Jamestown. The tree-lined trail is pram and wheelchair-friendly, and ideal for youngsters on pushbikes. Or head out to Bundaleer Forest, where you can choose to amble along the Maple Walk or step up the intensity on the Conservators Walk and the Panoramic Walk. These walks all start from the picnic grounds off Springs Road, Bundaleer.

Cycling

While in Jamestown why not hire a bike and see what the town has to offer at a leisurely pace?

Or if you’re after something a little more adventurous, make a day of it, pack a picnic and take on one of Jamestown’s cycling trails, either north to Mannanarie or south to Bundaleer.

Sporting Facilities

A recreation and sporting ground (featuring a well-maintained cricket oval, newly resurfaced synthetic tennis courts and a hall for hire) is adjacent the picnic ground.

A golf course takes pride of place at the northern end of the reserve.

Trail Rides in the Forest

The KTM Trail Rides are held annually (in August) in the magnificent Bundaleer Forest.
Riders experience open riding and ridge riding which opens up amazing views across beautiful valleys.

you’ll find a trail that suits you.
