Located on the western side of Lake Joondalup, the $4.57 million Yalbunullup Mountain Bike Trails opened in December 2024 and feature seven kilometres of mountain bike trails, a 100-vehicle carpark, and a large pavilion with bike racks, water fountains, and toilet facilities.

As stated by the Environment Minister Matthew Swinbourn:
"The new facilities at Lake Joondalup, along with other upgrades across Yellagonga Regional Park, are creating exciting nature-based recreation and tourism opportunities, while protecting this urban oasis in Perth's northern suburbs.
"These commercial opportunities are a great opportunity for local operators to get involved and be part of the transformation of Yellagonga Regional Park."
As stated by Joondalup MLA Emily Hamilton:
"Since opening late last year, the Yalbunullup Mountain Bike Trails have been hugely popular with Joondalup locals and visitors.
"Nature-based tourism services like bike hire and food and beverage vans will only enhance the experience and make a day out in Yellagonga Regional Park even more enjoyable."
