Leisure Lakes MX – Motocross Action Near Southport in the Northwest

Do They Allow Electric Dirt Bikes or Electric Balance Bikes?

There’s no explicit public guidance on the official website or calendar about electric-powered motocross bikes or electric balance bikes being permitted at Leisure Lakes MX.

However, the venue operates under ACU noise regulations, requiring all machines to comply with noise limits on practice days. If an electric motocross-style bike meets those safety and noise requirements, riders should contact the track directly for confirmation before arriving — the track strongly recommends contacting them or checking social media on the morning of opening to confirm if practice is running and what machines are accepted.

Because electric balance bikes are typically quiet and low-powered, they may be possible to ride with permission on appropriate sessions, but this should again be confirmed with the track in advance.

In short:

• Electric dirt bikes: I cannot confirm this without direct confirmation from the track. Contact Leisure Lakes MX to verify before attending.

• Electric balance bikes: I cannot confirm this either. Reach out to the venue for permission on the day.

When Is the Track Open?

Leisure Lakes MX operates on a weather-dependent schedule, typically opening on alternate Sundays through spring and summer. Normal hours are around 10:30 am to approximately 3:30–4:00 pm.

Opening days and hours can change due to weather, ground condition and seasonal planning, so the track publishes a calendar on its website and updates social media each morning with whether the track will run that day.

When Are the Sessions?

Practice sessions at Leisure Lakes MX typically run within the main opening period on practice days — roughly 10:30 am through to around 4:00 pm. Riders can usually arrive early on those days (often mornings) to prepare before sessions begin. Exact session times, heat blocks or allocated practice slots for specific bike categories are not routinely published, so it’s best to check the track’s Facebook or Instagram closer to the day.

What Makes Leisure Lakes MX Special?

Leisure Lakes MX stands out among motocross tracks in the Northwest for several reasons:

• Deep sandy terrain: The track winds through woodland and lakeside terrain, offering a physically demanding surface that tests rider fitness and throttle control more than many clay or hardpack tracks.

• Natural surroundings: Set within a broader leisure complex that includes boating, caravan parks and family-oriented facilities, the venue’s scenic woodland backdrop makes it an interesting and pleasant place to visit.

• Community feel: Run by an experienced local team, the track is known for being welcoming and accessible to riders of different skill levels, while still providing hard-working terrain for experienced motocross riders.

Its combination of challenging sand features — like tabletops, whoops and banked berms — gives riders a comprehensive workout and technique building opportunity.

Why Should You Ride Here?

There are several reasons riders from Southport and across the Northwest visit Leisure Lakes MX:

• Skill development: The sand track’s physical demands help improve balance, throttle control and endurance faster than some firmer surfaces.

• Great training environment: With practice days spaced through the riding season, you can structure regular off-road training or weekend skills sessions at this venue.

• Community and amenities: On-site facilities, nearby cafes, camping at weekends and spectator-friendly viewing make it suitable for riders and families alike.

All told, Leisure Lakes MX offers a solid blend of challenge, scenery and community atmosphere that appeals to motocross riders from beginners to seasoned sand-surface enthusiasts throughout the Northwest.
