Visit Te Oneroa o Kahu / Long Bay Youth Park for more information on the Long Bay pump track.

Red Beach Pump Track

Riders of all levels will soon have something new with a pump track in the pipeline. There will be a beginner section for those just starting out and an advanced track for older, more confident riders.

Multiple riders will be able to ride together and watch the action from a social area.

Construction is scheduled to begin in early March, with an anticipated build period of around 8–10 weeks.
