Bike Park

The Polkadraai Bike Park is a family orientated venue that caters for riders of all ages and abilities – offering skills and flow trails as well as jump lines and a comprehensive technical zone. Our park allows riders to explore the 130km Bottelary Hills Conservancy & MTB Trails that meander across the rolling Bottelary Hills through working wine farms including pristine fynbos and renosterveld conservation areas featuring farm roads, jeep tracks as well as numerous single tracks.

A variety of distances cater for various skills and fitness levels – while never too technical, there are some challenging climbs but most of all a lot of fun to be had for the whole family.

Adult supervision is required and all riders are required to wear helmets at all times.

A food court, operated by Burger Brothers, offers a variety of delicious light meals for both adults and kids – seating and lawn areas are available for your comfort.

Our menu includes hot food items such as burgers and fries, tender chicken strips as well as other tasty treats!

We do cater for birthday parties, riding schools and other special events – for more information, contact us at: bikepark@polkadraaifarm.co.za
