Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park / May 2022

Mākara Peak Mountain Bike Park was established by Wellington City Council in 1988, and encompasses Mākara Peak which dominates the skyline at the south end of Karori. With the largest trail network in the lower North Island, Mākara Peak has something for riders of all ages and abilities. There are wide, flowing singletrack with gentle gradients that are perfect for beginners, children and families. Plus there are some of the steepest, narrowest and gnarliest trails that challenge the experts.

If you’re starting out mountain biking, Smokin is a great option for helping progress onto intermediate trails. It’s a gentle gradient with no scary drop offs on the side of the trail to distract you! This work is particularly focussed on improving the switchbacks and the flow by rebuilding berms to allow riders to safely carry more speed as they improve their skills. Thanks to Wellington City Council for funding this work as part of their commitment to Mākara Peak.

Maybe even stay off it, if too wet, especially if the forecast is a bit dodgy.
