The newly reconstructed pump track at the Maitai Recreation Hub is ready to ride!

Mayor Nick, Councillor Matty Anderson and Councillor Trudie Brand, along with Principal Parks and Facilities Activity Planner Paul Harrington and Project Manager Claire McLean met with some young riders at the recently completed pump track at the Maitai Recreation Hub.

The Maitai Pump Track was initially completed in May 2022, only three months later, it was destroyed in the 2022 August floods. Empire of Dirt returned from Christchurch to build it back even better than it was before and managed to salvage 80% of the materials from the previous build.

There are still some bits and pieces to finish off like seating and landscaping but it's now open and ready to ride!
