Council Consent given for Pump Track at Woodall Park, Devonport

Libby Boyd from Devonport Rotary Club

A very successful Pump Track Information Day was held on Sunday 20th July at Woodall Park.

Despite the unsettled weather we had at least 100 people who stopped by to talk about the project and all were very positive and supportive. Devonport Rotary would like to thank all of those people and the 30 or so who left their contact details and expressed interest in attending site working bees or donating cash and materials. Thanks to Tim White and some of the other local BMX guru's who dropped by to answer questions and explain aspects of the project.

It was great to see so many family groups using the existing informal track amongst the trees that demonstrated the level of demand for the proposed track.

Rotary plans to set up a GiveaLittle page to assist with fundraising. Watch this space and The Flagstaff for further information regarding when work will start on site. We are looking to begin at the end of September when the weather is suitable and the resource consent has been granted.
