Waitangi Mountain Bike Park
The WMBP provides the perfect introduction to mountain biking with lots of easy, scenic trails you can take at your own pace.
It currently offers approx 30 trails of varying difficulty with great flow and features, from introductory downhill riding, jump trails, cross country and beginner trails.
The trail network has grown rapidly over the past six months, and the trails cater to all levels of ability. There are plenty of fast, flowing berms, rollers and jumps. Grade 2 and 3 runs are so well built they’re still fun for more advanced riders.
The initial trail design and development has focused on family-friendly grades, with most of the trails built in grade 2 (easy, 3 (intermediate), some grade 4 (advanced) and a few Grade 5 (Expert) tracks. The downhill trails milk the most out of the vertical elevation available, providing a lot of fun for a small amount of climbing.
There are five zones to be developed (70-80km!!), so there’s plenty more trail development planned in the coming years. Check out all the excellent trails and riding options here!
