What Is the Milton Velodrome?

The Mattamy National Cycling Centre is a world-class indoor velodrome in Milton’s Harrison neighbourhood. It features a 250-metre wooden oval track made from Siberian spruce. It was built for the 2015 Pan Am Games, but today, it’s open to the public.


The Centre also features an elevated viewing gallery, a fitness studio with group classes, a cafe with healthy eats, and on-site bike repair with cycling gear and accessories.


Elite training sessions typically run in the early mornings and evenings. Public drop-in times, clinics, and rentals are available weekly and on weekends.

Booking Your First Session

To book your first ride, you need to create an account on the Town of Milton’s online portal. It only takes a few minutes to enter your contact info, set a password, and browse session times.


New to track cycling? Start with a Learn to Ride clinic. Already confident on a bike? Try a public drop-in session where instructors are on hand to answer questions or offer tips. There are a few ways to pay:


  • Single-ride passes are perfect for first-timers or casual visits
  • Punch passes provide discounted rates when you buy in bundles
  • Memberships give you unlimited access and extra perks like early booking windows


Popular weekend sessions and beginner clinics fill up fast, sometimes a week in advance. If you can’t make it, you must cancel 24 hours ahead to avoid penalties and free up the spot for someone else.

Resident Perks and Community Days

If you live in the Harrison neighbourhood, you’re eligible for exclusive deals like 10% off punch passes. To claim your discount, you must show proof of address when booking or use your account settings to apply the discount.


The Centre hosts a monthly Community Ride with local cycling clubs and residents. These rides are friendly, fun, and a great way to meet fellow riders of all levels.


Curious but not quite ready to commit? Look for the free Try the Track demo days. These events include a short safety briefing, gear rental, and a few laps under supervision.


Sign up for the Mattamy Centre’s email newsletter or check the on-site community board for updates on upcoming events, new classes, and seasonal discounts.

Gear Rentals and Local Shops

The Centre offers bike and helmet rentals. Prices are reasonable, and sizing is available for youth and adults. Gear can run out quickly on busy days, so we recommend booking your rental when you register for your session. 


Need new pedals or a tune-up? Here are a couple of nearby cycling shops in Milton:


  • Mill Town Cycle (212 Main St E, Milton, ON): Milton’s premier bike shop offers expert bike services, including tune-ups and suspension services.
  • Spokes N' Slopes (307 Steeles Ave E, Milton, ON): A local bike shop offering a range of bicycles and accessories.

Safety Tips and Track Etiquette

Here are some basic tips and rules to follow:


  • Mandatory gear: Helmet, closed-toe shoes, gloves 
  • Know the rules: Ride counterclockwise, use clear hand signals when changing lanes, and pass slower riders on the right
  • Warm up: Do some stretching or spinning in the fitness area before stepping on the oval
  • Respect others: Slower riders stick to the bottom, while faster riders move up. Communicate, call out passes, and avoid sudden stops

Directions, Parking, and Trail Connections

The Mattamy National Cycling Centre is at 2015 Pan Am Boulevard, Milton, ON. On-site parking is free, with accessible stalls close to the entrance. Milton has a network of bike lanes that connect to the Velodrome via:


  • Savoline Boulevard
