Wainuiomata trail project

The Wainuiomata Trail Project (WTP) is a mountain bike park under active development. The project's objective is to create a range of mountain bike and walking tracks on the hills between Mount Towai and Wainuiomata.

Several tracks have been completed, ranging in difficulty from a gentle two-way track (Jungle Gym), through to dedicated downhill tracks with challenging drops and other obstacles (Beeline and Spoonhill). Further tracks are planned, including short, flat tracks suitable for family outings.

Access to the tracks is via either the saddle of Wainuiomata Hill or from the end of Waui Street. The land at the end of Waui Street is currently derelict. Motorcross riders frequently make use of the area, including racing on a dirt track near the start of Jungle Gym. There are plans for re-development of this area, including construction of a car park and visitor information boards for users of the tracks.

The WTP has secured funding from the Hutt City Council to assist with development of the project. Even so, most of the tracks have been built by volunteers, led and coordinated by a local school teacher.

Also refer to Wainuiomata for other tracks in the area.
