Mahu Bike and Skate Park

A bunch of motivated Warkworth locals have come together to design and implement a "wheels-based" park for skaters, scooters, BMXers and mountain-bikers.

A group of motivated, Warkworth locals came together in 2015 with the focus of finding a space to create a bmx/mountain-bike park for the children of the wider Warkworth area community. As part of these initial discussions, it became evident that an improved skate park was also desired by another local group and we decided to work together and form a collective committee that would focus on an int

egrated Bike and Skate Park, consulting with relevant stakeholders and driving due diligence for the project itself. The options for the Warkworth skateboarding community are currently under-resourced with only a single half-pipe ramp located at the, more often than not, contentious Baxter Street site. The opportunity to expand this area has often been met with stiff resistance, given the high level of amenity that the adjacent site offers through potential alternative uses, along with the perceived nuisance factor of having kids on fast moving skateboards and scooters in a high pedestrian density zone. The local biking community’s nearest purpose-built facilities are the Te Ara Tahuna estuary circuit in Orewa or Auckland-city based (like the Onepoto domain) for flat-to-easy undulating rides designed for new entrant bikers, or Sanders Reserve / Woodhill / Riverhead for off-road riding. It has been clear from both past and current discussions that there is a strong desire to see this type of facility created locally. A critical mass of active parents, most being keen skateboarders, BMXers and mountainbikers themselves, are ready to contribute to fundraising for creation and maintenance of the facilities. The opportunity to look at some space at the Warkworth Showgrounds facility then arose via the Mahurangi Community Sport & Recreation Collective (MCSRC) and was deemed by the group to be an excellent location for the following reasons:
• Availability of currently un-utilised land in close proximity to Warkworth’s town centre
• Ease of access to the site (safe pavement from town and local) and abundance of car parking space. It is already familiar to most people in the community and known as a safe and well-planned facility.
• Suitable topography (some flat for skate park, some rolling for mountainbiking)
• Co-location with existing and compatible facilities – all ages already play sports here, plus there is a great playground drawing the public out there to entertain their children. Yet another sport and facility bringing another group of the public out there may also give good exposure to the other sports being played, encouraging people to give another sport a go.
• Enhancement of the current space – it is already a family sports area so to include another sporting activity suits this location not only logistically but for the natural extension of the sports/fitness concept. It is in keeping with the theme of the overall park as a one-stop sports complex where everyone’s needs are met. This group subsequently presented their concept to the MCSRC, and Auckland Council and Rodney Local Board representatives present at that meeting, and the concept has since been accepted as complementary to the long-term vision of the MCSRC and the overall Showgrounds multi-purpose sport and recreation facility.

ATTN PARENTS - to help keep our junior netball players and our scooter/skateboard/mini-bike riders safe, we are closing off the pump track on the end netball court (at WW Showgrounds) whilst the netball competition is in play.

This means from 3pm-7pm on Tuesday's the fenced netball courts are out-of-bounds for any wheeled action - PLEASE help us ensure that happens.

The PUMP TRACK is really starting to take shape.

Here’s a sneak peek at the progress onsite this week.
We can’t wait to deliver this new space for our community.

REMINDER TO OUR SKATE AND BIKE COMMUNITY

Whilst a future career in the building industry is quite possible due to their industrious and crafty actions, we need to ask our errant ramp-builder to PLEASE STOP destroying the pump track to make jumps for the skate boxes.

We are SUPER LUCKY to still have the pump track based at the Warkworth Showgrounds but if destructive actions continue, we will likely have it taken from us.

So parents, please remind your kids to make better choices (yes we are blindly assuming it's a kid coz surely adults know better!) and if there is something specifically lacking that they want/need in this space, please message us and we'll try and make it happen.

***Shout out to the local mountain-biking community***

Are you aware the AKDH Auckland Downhill Club has a base in the Dome Valley Forest?

A new committee took over the club this year and they currently have a couple of trails running and are working to get the rest of the trails running after a lot of damage from the storms and lack of maintenance over the last few years.

If you are into riding mountain bikes you don’t need to have a DH bike, a trail/enduro bike is fine, they all ride enduro bikes up there!

Follow them on instagram or Facebook and give the website a browse, to keep up to date with all the things that are happening.

They run shuttle days, do dig nights on a Tuesday evening and do social rides from Kaipara Flats Sports Club on a Thursday - everyone is welcome to join.

Message George Swift or the club if you have any questions
