Travel around 1600m, turn right into Masters Rd and then turn right into Evening Peal Crt after around 1116m.

FacilitiesFloat ParkingThere are two areas, with the main general float parking area at the end of Evening Peal Crt.

The second area is smaller, with space for only 2 - 3 floats. This is off Rain Lover Crt and mainly for the use of the second arena.

Main Area FacilitiesSlow work track - Reserved for slow work and often has trotters and gallopers on this track with general riders.

Arenas - There are two fully fenced arenas available for use.

Cross country track - Located in the main area on the inside of the trotting track.

All tracks have been constructed from trotting fines (metal dust) and can be used all year round.

There are no toilet facilities and camping is not allowed on this site.

TRAIL INFORMATIONThere are three main trail circuits in the Darling Downs area, with the first two colour coded. Many smaller circuits can also be created from the network of trails in the area.

1. Comic Court Circuit - approximately 5.5km

2. Birrega Drain Circuit - approximately 2.6km

3. Linked to the Oakford Trails (leading to approximately 20km + trails) - approximately 3 km

Points of InterestThe trails in Darling Downs all link back to what is locally known as the “70 acres”, constructed during the development of the subdivision in 1978. This now provides a free, open public space available to all Perth equestrian users.

The facility is managed and maintained by the Darling Downs Residents Association through volunteer labour with help from the Serpentine Jarrahdale Shire.

Additional trails - These trails have a direct link through to Oakford Bridle Trails, adding 33kms to your riding experience. The ultimate goal is to have riding access from Wandi all the way to the Wungong Regional Park in the hills.

Code of PracticeBe SafeRiders should consider safety when riding the bridle trails in the Serpentine Jarrahdale Shire, and are advised to:

A Wear approved safety helmets.

A Be aware of the hazards of riding in very hot weather.

A Avoid grazing horses if you are not sure of the plants identity.

Be Courteous A Avoid riding on private land. If unsure of land ownership do not

access.

A When using gates, follow the golden rule - Leave gates as you found them - If they are closed, close them after passing through, and if they are already open, leave them open.

A When riding on or near public trotting and racing tracks, give way to the horses already working there. Work on the same rein (in the same direction) as those already using the track.

A Avoid damage to the environment, particularly around drains and creek beds.

A Do not tie your horse to trees, especially if they are known to ringbark the trees.

A Observe local rules and public notices
