Come and play in the nation's capital!

Canberra hosts national and international sporting events and is the cycling capital of Australia with superb facilities at the purpose-built Stromlo Forest Park, extensive cycle ways throughout the city and miles of dedicated mountain biking trails.

Be sure to visit the Australian Institute of Sport, dedicated to enriching the lives of all Australians through sport.

With so much fresh air and space, pack your bat and ball or strap your bikes to the car and come play with the locals or cheer on your favourite team at their away matches.
