Awesome place. AMAZING views and great place for family rides. DOES Need some REMINDER SAFETY signs at the trail heads. For example, NO STOPPING OR BLOCKING THE MIDDLE OF A TRACK..... DON'T RIDE A TRAIL ABOVE YOUR LEVEL OF ABILITY. If you must stop, get off to the inside of the track immediately. I nearly broke my neck in a big accident after coming across a inexperienced rider on a advanced track who stopped and left his bike unattended blocking the bike line of the track, while he went into the bush to help another young fellow inexperienced rider that rode off the track. I crashed into his bike.. Endo'd hard and fast over the handle bars landing on my head, twisted my neck, severe concussion and a trip to hospital and a MRI on a possible broken neck. Very luckily I escaped without permanent serious injury... This time..... PLEASE PEOPLE THINK ABOUT SAFETY ON THE TRAILS. Ride safe, ride considerately, and have fun.....
Simply one of my all-time favourite places to ride. Beautifully designed, maintained and mint condition trails. The views are stunning on a bluebird.
Need some signs with rules at the head of each trail. I came off hard and got concussed because a rider that shouldn't have been on the track, inexperienced and on a harder track, had stopped left the track and blocked the track with his bike... Some basic rules need to be shown as reminders... Don't stop and block the track ...... Etc
Amazing bike park with great trails, There is a skilz area for jumps it’s good but not the best but everything else is amazing
Very large park. There are a few different ways you can go up and lots of ways to go down. The newsih bridge saves a bit of riding time on the up. Sign posted relativitly well with maps placed throughout the park. You can do anything from a full summit and back down or various little ups and downs. Tracks are well built and have variety. Advanced and below are well signed for drops and jumps etc.
Great trails with enough difficulty for any levels of riding. If you don’t like climbing though you will need an e-bike or lift up the top.
Would love to give it 10 stars. This is probably one of the best bike parks I've been to! Build in harmony with nature and some special features like a hanging bridge. Excellent.
One of the best places in Wellington to go and ride. Has evolved and developed over time progressively and is very popular with the local scene. There is a new carpark area with toiliet and shower block at the time of this review it isn't known if the showers are fully functioning. A myraid of graded trails from G2 - G6, but predominantly are G3 - G4. Check out trail forks for exact details. Currently no deddicated shuttle service so its a hearty climb from the bottom making your way up to the summit approx 20 - 40mins depeding on fitness and choice of direction, albeit not as agressive in gradient too climb as such it serves well for hill / interval training. Terrain is mostly rock based no clay / sand or loam like Rotorua mixed with tree roots and hard pack. It can get incredibly windy at the summit so dress for the weather however its been said that Makara runs well in the wet as well. Overall it is an excellent MTB park and worth a repeat visit or connecting visit with the other Bike areas in the region.
Wellies is very lucky to have this park. Every time I ride here I appreciate it more. So much effort and energy has gone into the trails and planting.
Lots of good trails and great facilities. All the trails were well signposted and the views were excellent on the clear day I was there anyway. Must be great for Wellington residents to have this park so close. Keep up the good work.
