Park Bench, Matairangi / Mt Vic.
Project timeline
Project Donors
This is an existing trail that underwent a substantial rebuild in 2022. It has some naturally technical sections that have been linked with berms and other man-made features to make it fast and committing, especially for those familiar with it. The trail has roots and off-camber parts, and riders must be aware of the crossing at the halfway point, where LOTR tour groups often congregate.
Overall, it is a super fun trail with many side hits to keep it interesting. It makes a good loop that can be sessioned several times.
Total Trail Solutions performed the rebuild work, and Matairangi Trail Builders maintain Park Bench.
