      Kainui is a community volunteer-driven project built from scratch and is located just a short drive from Wakefield in the Tasman region. It all began with OneFortyOne New Zealand very generously allowing our community access to their Kainui North Forest to build mountain biking trails. The trails are currently being developed by the hard mahi of community volunteers and the expertise of the MTB Trails Trust.

      DOGS
      Sorry no dogs are allowed at Kainui Bike Park.

      STAGE ONE OPENING
      Our first stage of tracks are now open, see map for details on trails.

      ACCESS:
      Kainui Bike Park is accessed via the Great Taste Trail from Wakefield or parking either at the Wai-iti domain or the Quail Valley Free Range carpark off Quail Valley Road, with a short 1.8km ride from either carparks to the entrance.

      Come experience Kainui, we look forward to sharing the currently completed trails with you and why not join us on our journey to create plenty more trails
