Help us to make the Mount Maunganui Pump Track (kids' bike track) a reality.

We are a rapidly growing Incorporated Society of Mount Maunganui residents who believe an all weather multi-use PUMP TRACK would be great for the local community.

We are working with Tauranga City Council who have allocated us 1,500sqm of land in Arataki Park near Grenada Street, and $25,000 towards the project.

A pump track is an undulating ribbon of asphalt on which riders pump to propel themselves around. An all weather, ultra low maintenance track, it is suitable for ages 3 to 83 – girls, boys, woman and men of all ability levels. The track will be multi-use including bikes, skateboards and scooters.

We have proven experience after completing the highly successful Grey Lynn Pump Track, a community led joint project with Auckland City Council. We know from the Grey Lynn Pump Track that these facilities bring together people from different ethnicities, genders, socio-economic groups, schools and ages and by doing so create closer more understanding communities.

We are working with ‘Arataki Living Park Project’ and with our combined efforts Arataki reserve will become a more welcoming and used facility by the community.

We have the full support of principals from our local schools, representing 3,350 students.
