Tags: Park.
In 1998 the Wellington City Council set aside 200 hectares of retired farmland in Karori southwest of Wellington New Zealand for a mountain bike park. Development of the Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park began almost immediately with volunteer work parties planting trees removing pest animals and digging new tracks. By 2014 the park had grown to 250 hectares with over 40 kilometres of hand-built single track and over 35000 native seedlings planted.
