Nice and open with some nice drops and berms before opening out onto Ahimate Park (formerly Waitoetoe) where you ride over the grass to turn left on the limestone path. Follow the limestone through a left hand turn and ride past a line of trees keeping left onto the grass and turning 180 degrees down a nice native alley with a fort. Pop out onto the grass again and turn right under a large willow and then keep right past the skills area and turn right again into a twisty loop which pops out on the inner car park.

Access Info

Follows on from Concrete Jungle or left up off the Riverside path as you head north towards He Ara Kotahi bridge.
