Pump Tract Information Day Woodall Park, Devonport.

Libby Boyd from Devonport Rotary Club

Information Day
Woodall Park BMX Pump Track
20 June at 11am

Woodall Park near the Squash Club

WHAT WILL THE TRACK BE LIKE?

It will be a 400 metres long unpaved BMX track through the trees at the western end of Woodall park, Narrow Neck. The design allows for it to be built in stages.

It’ll be suitable for all ages and abilities of riders: from young learners to older ‘full-on’ awesome riders.

WHERE IS THE PROJECT AT?

The pump track through the trees was started by local kids through the trees. Devonport Rotary approached the Council and Local Board who have enthusiastically endorsed the project and are assisting with resource consent. A lease change of the Waitemata Golf Club has made available the land under the trees to become part of Woodall Park

Local cycling enthusiast Tim White has offered lots of practical advice on track layouts and other technical matters.

WHEN WILL IT START AND HOW YOU CAN HELP?

Rotary is confident that the resource consent will be granted soon and now want to start the planning for getting construction underway in the spring. Rotary has some funds available but needs the help of local volunteers and sponsors who can help with

• fundraising e.g setting up a Givealittle page

• working bees

• sponsorship.

• donations of materials.

• Applying for grants from charitable trusts

a GiveaLittle page

Come along to the information day to share your ideas on how we can make this community asset a real taonga for our children (of all ages).

Sunday 20th June 11am Woodall Park

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).

Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.
