Thrills not spills on new pump track
A brand new, sealed pump track at Bexley Reserve is set to delight park users.
The 2,500m2 track caters for wheels of all kinds, from bikes and scooters to skateboards and even wheelchairs.
North Avon Christchurch BMX Club has funded and built the new track on land next to its existing BMX track. The club then gifted the track to the Christchurch City Council which will look after ongoing maintenance.
It cost $650,000 and incorporates two loops, one of which has been constructed to be inclusive for wheelchairs.
The pump track is part of a bigger redevelopment of Bexley Reserve, which will include a learn-to-ride cycle safety facility and a new playground.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
