Land OwnerNew Plymouth District Council
The first half of Mandatory was built in 3 working bee's over 8 days. The second half was built using TSB Community Trust money. It's a tribute to what can be achieved with local funding and volunteers motivated enough to move a heap of gorse and dirt, and build a sweet track.
Last rebuilt in Feb 2023 by Jonky Vink with funding from NPMTB.
Adaptive Bike Info
The track is wide but has many rollers, table tops and steeply bermed corners.
