Curious about the pump track project? Find answers to the most common questions from our community, from how it works to how you can get involved.
A pump track is a circuit of rollers, banked turns, and features designed for bikes, scooters, and skateboards. It’s a fun, safe space for all ages and skill levels to ride, learn, and connect.
Everyone is welcome! The track is designed for kids, teens, adults, and families—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned rider. It’s a place for the whole community to enjoy.
Yes, it definitely is. We would work with Wellington Regional Council and the community to plant a wind barrier, and plant within the track to reduce the effect of the wind.
It will need to be safe for riders, walkers and drivers. Some ideas are having a rope barrier around the perimeter of the roadway, improving signage, and ensuring there is adequate visibility for riders and drivers to see each other at entry and exit points.
Cool! We would be very appreciative of any help given, please just share your thoughts below and let us know how you might be able to help.
Safety is very important, especially with young children entering and exiting from a car park. We would look to work with the WRC to ensure there was visibility for drivers, that drivers were encouraged to drive slowly, and to minimise the likelihood of children exiting the track area at speed.
We are locals! We are parents of young kids on the hill here who like to bike and have seen how good pump tracks can be for our own children in developing their biking skills, getting them out and about, and meeting other people.
Funding will come from a mix of community fundraising, local grants, and potential sponsorships. We’re committed to transparency and will keep everyone updated as the project progresses.
A pump track encourages outdoor activity, brings people together, and offers a safe space for play and exercise. It can boost local pride and create new opportunities for events and learning.
We’d love to hear from you! You can fill out our feedback formor reach out directly. Your input helps shape the project and shows community support.
We’re in the early stages, gathering feedback and support. Once we have community backing and funding, we’ll share a detailed timeline and next steps with everyone.
