![]() | Mountain Bike Skills Park for Te Aroha |
Submitted by TeAroha Mountain Bike Club Parks & Open Spaces |
Full description of idea:
The Te Aroha Mountain Bike Club proposes redeveloping the Tui Park Reserve land into a bike skills park/native reserve area that will cater for beginners to advanced riders. As well as an easy grade wildlife track for walkers.
Facilities could include a balance bike slope, a technical skills area and a grade 2-3 track that incorporates the skills needed to advance into riding the existing local tracks, a bio-diversive wildlife planting with walking tracks tying it all together.
We would like to use this area because it already has natural terrain and features that we can utilise, it's in a central location that's easily accessible with roadside parking available.
How this idea will benefit the community:
We think the benefits to the community are almost unlimited! But to name a few;
It encourages both physical and mental fitness which fits in with the towns focus on health and wellbeing.
It can be utilised by schools for events and fun days, local families for entertainment and bonding time, physiotherapists and health professionals for health treatments.
It will benefit local business's by providing an activity that is suitable for all ages, encouraging visitors to come stay the weekend, who will then use local accommodation and local business's services.
It'll provide an all year round, all weather activity for all ages, fitness levels and abilities.
The town will benefit from more native wildlife that will live locally and visit during migration seasons, it'll provide a beautiful green space and carbon capture area that will grow and mature as the years go by providing a long lasting asset for generations to come.
