The Team at work today! Cheers everyone. Join us next Sunday 1-4pm for more great build work. If you can't join us to build, perhaps you can donate some funds for much needed supplies, and food/beverage to sustain the build teams.

We've had some amazing news from the Porirua City Council to work towards initial planning and scoping for the establishment of a formal Grade 3 Trail from the bottom of Chimney Sweep into the top of the Blaster trails. We're super excited to be bringing online more trails for our community.

We can't do it alone. We are running volunteer trail building events - most Sunday afternoons and Tuesday night digs (yes - in the dark!). Check out our events page for more information.

Can't help us to trail build, then perhaps you can spare some funds. We know this is tough in the world with costs at the moment, but if you love riding our trails and would like to see more trails come online, please consider a donation to our build fund. This will supply the team with trail mix, wood, screws and other essential trail building items!

In addition to gaining approval to formally build Schwanz into a G5 with our aim to bring it online officially for Summer 2026/2027, the Council have approved MCG to commence the intial work to establish a Grade 3 trail from the exit of Chimney Sweep to join though to the top of Upper Blaster. We'll work on some planning, but build work will likely commence after we complete Schwanz sign offs.
This is amazing work from our working group members and Porirua City Parks and team

To get started on the G3 work, we need to complete the Schwanz Build - so let's all dig in and make it happen. Meet at Farm Road 1pm THIS SUNDAY (and fine weather Sunday's coming up) and join the build team working on Lower Schwanz (between Loop and Farm Road - formerly known as sticks and stones) - or join in any time between 1 & 4pm!

New bridge under construction. We had to remove the existing one as it had become part of the mud and is just not doing the job is needs to do.
New one should be done by Sunday's work party end.
