🎶 Cue unnecessarily inspirational athletics music…

We could tell you the new Craig Hickson Athletics Track is coming along nicely.
Or we could just let you enjoy this oddly satisfying footage of Jackson from working his magic

Fresh rubber. Serious precision. Very serious business.

We’re now officially at the stage where we’re resisting the urge to ask Jackson, “Is it ready yet?” every five minutes.

🏃‍♀️ The finish line is in sight.

🧲 There’s some seriously clever technology going into our new track – quite literally.

As part of the resurfacing of the Athletics Track at Mitre 10 Park, 108 magnets, each 50cm long, are being embedded vertically into the track at precisely measured locations. That’s a lot of drilling.

Each magnet has its own serial number, which is logged in Germany as part of the digital configuration of our track. Together, their carefully mapped positions form the magnetic timing gates used by our new SMART timing technology.

When an athlete wearing a sensor or using a compatible smartphone – crosses a timing gate, the magnetic field is detected. The system can record accurate times and splits as they move around the track, along with performance data such as distance, step count and step frequency.

Installing it takes some serious precision: 108 locations, 108 half-metre-deep installations, all positioned exactly where the technology expects to find them.

Once the resurfacing is complete, you won’t see any of them. But beneath athletes’ feet will be a timing system designed to help them measure, analyse and improve their performance. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️⏱️

This exciting addition to our new track has been made possible thanks to the incredible generosity of Kevin and Penny Atkinson, who funded the SMART technology. Their support means athletes training and competing here in Hawke’s Bay will have access to sophisticated performance technology built right into the track. A huge thank you to Kevin and Penny for helping us take the William Nelson Athletics Precinct to the next level. 🧡

When the forklift needs a lift… 😅

Our side-by-side, kindly provided by Motorcycles , came to the rescue and made short work of getting it out of the grass.

Safe to say, it’s earning its keep around the Park! A huge thanks again to the team at Bay Motorcycles for your support 🛞💪

💦 School holiday fun incoming!

Looking for something a little different these school holidays? Waterworld Inflatable Waterpark is taking over the pool at the Hawke's Bay Regional Aquatic Centre right here at the Park.

Think giant inflatables, obstacles, slides and plenty of opportunities to make a splash! 🌊

This looks like a whole lot of fun (and possibly a little bit exhausting 😂).

When? 27th, 28th and 29th of September!

🧡 Today is International Day of Charity.

At Mitre 10 Park, we see every day what giving looks like in sport.

It’s the coach who finishes work and heads straight to training. The parent who marks the field, manages the team or washes the uniforms. The officials, committee members and volunteers who give up evenings and weekends so others can play, compete and belong.

And behind all of that, there needs to be a place for it to happen.

As a charitable trust, Mitre 10 Park works to provide Hawke’s Bay with accessible, quality facilities where our community can train, play, compete and connect, from young people taking their first steps into sport to athletes competing at the highest level.

Keeping a regional sports park running, maintaining and improving facilities, and making them available to our community takes significant investment. Like the clubs and organisations who call the Park home, we rely on the generosity of funders, sponsors, donors and supporters to help make it possible.

This International Day of Charity, if you’d like to support sport in Hawke’s Bay, you can make a donation to Mitre 10 Park here: www.mitre10park.co.nz/donations

🧡 Every contribution helps us keep creating a place where Hawke’s Bay can play.

🚧 Track update: we’re grinding away!

There’s plenty happening at the William Nelson Athletics Precinct as our track transformation continues.

💦 Pressure washing - done
🏗️ Runway extension foundations - built
📍 Surveying is underway to pinpoint the locations for our new SmartTrack magnets
⚙️ Now we’re grinding away at the existing rubber surface, and getting the track ready for what comes next.

There’s dust, machinery and plenty of mess - all signs of progress!

Hoardings will be going up shortly as the big stuff starts happening. For now, a few footprints in the dust aren’t going to hurt… but we definitely don’t want footprints in the new rubber surface! 👣😬

Every day is another step closer to our brand-new track. 🧡🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
