Napier City Council built this large pump track in early 2015. An all-weather concrete surface with multiple lines suitable for all ages and abilities, for MTB’s, BMX’s, scooters and scateboards. Located on Marine Parade next to the Rotary Pathway, (next to the start of the 100km speed zone). The aim is to continuously ride multiple laps without any pedalling & to just use momentum created from ‘pumping’ with your arms and body through the bumps & corners.

This track is suitable for all ages and abilities and is FREE for the general public to use at anytime.

A network of cycle paths offering 187km of riding around the district. Most are off-road with a limestone surface.

A walking track along an old logging route at the base of the Ruahine Forest Park is open for mountain bikers as well. This track starts from the end of Wakarara Road (you need to cross the river to start the ride), which is approx 86km from Hastings.

Yeomans Track goes along to Ellis Hut (also known as Murderer’s Hut) on the edge of the Pan Pac Gwavas Forest, where you either return back the same way, or can follow a couple forestry roads back to the river – you will need either a topomap, or the Kennetts MTB book for these road directions. (Average riders – allow at least 1 hour each way) (For ‘hot shots’ – allow at least 45 minutes in & 30 minutes return).
