The Grigg Drive to Rotary Hill, 900 metre-long track was officially opened last week.
It provides direct access from the Boulevard on Taylor subdivision to the Farm Park and its network of walking and biking tracks.
Thousands of walkers and cyclists use the Farm Park every year and in opening the new track, Mayor John Leggett, said it’s great to see new tracks like this one being added to Blenheim’s iconic Farm Park. So if you haven’t done so already, make sure you check it out.
