It can be a bit of a long haul from Hawea to some of the bike parks in the region, so this is great news for all bike lovers!
Drum roll please.... we are stoked to reveal the plans for the new Hāwea Bike Park on the corner of Domain Road and Noema Terrace on land the bike club is leasing from QLDC!
The park aligns with QLDC’s 10 Year vision of creating vibrant communities and we envisage the Hāwea Bike Park to be a hub for the children and youth of the Hāwea community - a place to meet and connect with friends and a place to be physically active and develop life long biking skills.
The main areas of the Bike Park will be:
- Pump Track: a great starting area, fun for all abilities from balance bikes to adults
- Kids Mini Jump Line: a learning area for jumps, will feature 3 progression options
- Medium jump line: Bigger jump progression for confident riders
- Flow Line - grade 3: A progression from the Pump Track, this will be a gravity track with
berms, pumps, and bumps.
- Skills area: small skill based features to encourage better handling skills.
Dirt Dynamics, will re-commence work in level 2 and we are looking to have the park open for riding in August 2020.
The club is thankful to the Contact Epic Community Fund for funding the concept plans and park design. Bike Wanaka is currently seeking funds to assist the club with the build costs. You can donate to the project here - https://www.bikewanaka.org.nz/donate
