Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park
Following the announcement to move the country to Alert Level 4, we have made a decision to close Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park.
This is to keep our communities safe. As per the Government’s advice you can still visit our other parks and reserves to exercise and enjoy nature as long as you are alone or with those you are self isolating with.
Remember to stay close to home and keep 2m apart from others.
Stay safe, stay kind, stay home.
