HAMMON PARK MASTER PLAN 0 4 20m
Scale: Client: of
CRESWICK TRAILS PROJECT

MASTER PLAN INTENT
The Creswick Trails Master Plan identified potential to develop Creswick and the broader Goldfields Region as a world-­class mountain bike and
Water Street
recreational trail destination. Hammon Park in Creswick town centre was identified as a trailhead for the network. This master plan is intended to
provide a basic indication of layout.

As the starting point for the wider mountain bike trail network the focus for activity at Hammon Park will be cycling facilities including a
pump track, jump lines, skills area and a beginner green loop trail. These features will create a hub of activity at Hammon park and allow riders
to develop skills and hone their technique prior to riding the wider network. The pump track will also cater for riders seeking opportunity for START
freestyle style riding, complementing the recently constructed skate park in the main street of town.

A nature play space and bbq and picnic facilities will make the park suitable for all ages. Buildings in the north west should be retained and
will support hosting of events. Areas in the north of the park should be kept open to provide for unstructured play and space for temporary
infrastructure required for hosting of events. Throughout the trailhead/pump track/skills track and nature play areas, suitable plantings including
trees for natural shade and garden beds delineating different activities should be incorporated.

MASTER PLAN ELEMENTS

Cre sw ick Cre

1 CARPARK Entry off Moore St, capacity 36 spaces including 3 long spaces for larger vehicles, and a bus and shuttle drop off area. Safe

ek
pedestrian access and vegetation should be incorporated into the design. Traffic management features such as speed bumps should be
incorporated into the design to deter misuse of the space. Recommended surface material is gravel to help in softening the visual impact.
2 TRAILHEAD Key to the overall success of the development will be a well structured trail head. The trail head should be highly accessible
and feature links to features within the site, signage for the various activities, repair station, bike racks, seating and shelter. Toilet/change
3 room facilities are ideally located in this zone.
SECONDARY TRAILHEAD / SPECTATOR ZONE A secondary trailhead / spectator zone which is elevated to provide start ramp for the FINISH
pump track and jump lines. Accessible from the carpark and within the site, this secondary trail head should include signage and seating.
4 PUMP TRACK Accessible from both trailheads a 450sqm pump track will provide opportunity for riders to hone their technique prior to
heading out on the larger trail network, and likely become a destination for riders in itself. The pump track should be constructed with an
asphalt surface and incorporate grass and landscaping to the internal and surrounding areas. Engineered drainage systems would be required
below berms, which would be approximately 1.2m high.
5 JUMP LINES Accessible from the elevated secondary trailhead, up to three jump lines could be accommodated - a beginner, intermediate
and advanced line. At the end of the jump line a return berm and return pump or jump straight would create a better user experience with
no need to peddle back to the start ramp. The jump lines are tucked inside the embankment to reduce visual impact for residents on Moore
St, a vegetation buffer should also be included.
6 SKILLS AREA The skills area could feature a range of obstacles and man-made technical trail features to test the skills of a rider and
allow them to try features that they may encounter on trails further afield. Features could include rock drops, rock rollers, balance beams
and other technical features. The features would be built with progression allowing users to start small and build their confidence up to
advanced features. Obstacles would primarily be constructed from natural materials such as rock and timber giving a ‘nature play’ feel to the
area.
7 GREEN SKILLS LOOP There is opportunity to include a beginner green trail providing a short introductory experience and linking various
elements within the site. This trail should include optional A-lines with skill features such as rock gardens and log rides.
8 BIKE PLAYGROUND / SAFETY TRACK The inclusion of a kid’s road and cycle safety track and a bike playground would complement
the other cycling components by providing opportunity for younger kids to ride. Ideally these elements should be separated from the other EVENT USE
components on site to ensure user safety. Locating this close to the BBQ / picnic / nature play space will allow parents/guardians to keep an Rider zone Cycle path Swale
The layout of the site has been designed such that events can be held at the site without obvious

9 BBQ / PICNIC / NATURE PLAYSPACE Located in the centre of the site is a BBQ / picnic / nature playspace, designed to be a space for Proposed tree
in the open space and is ideally located to make use of the service entry, proposed picnic shelter and
those not riding. This space should include shelter, tables, BBQs, seating and be appropriately landscaped to integrate with surrounding park 0 4 20m
existing buildings. The green beginner loop with optional A - lines will form the start of the race circuit
features. and both bridge connections will provide separate access out of and back into the park.
10 PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION A shared use pedestrian / cyclist path will provide more direct access through the site.
11 SWALE / RETEN TION BASIN The master plan proposes construction of a shallow swale leading to a retention basin for lager storm
events. Construction of these elements will provide some fill for elevating other areas of the park and will add interest for the green skills
loop and nature play space with a change in landscape profile.
12 BRIDGE CONNECTIONS Bridges over Creswick Creek and the storm water channel will provide access to the broader trail network and
town.
13 OPEN SPACE Open grassed area for unstructured play, the goal posts at this end of the oval should also be retained. Open areas will also
allow space for set up of temporary event infrastructure. Goal posts at the northern end of the oval should be retained and fencing / barrier
on boundary of oval upgraded.
14 VEGETATION SCREENING Trees and shrubs appropriately selected for suitability should be planted along the eastern boundary to help
screen the carpark from neighbouring residents. Choice of species should consider height aiming to retain long vistas while screening the
foreground. Ease of maintenance should also be a priority factor in species selection.
