This video is when we went to Waitawa Regional Park for the first time. We didn’t actually plan to go there but chance brought us there. We were supposed to go to 440 mountain bike park but unfortunately the park was closed when we arrived there due to high winds. The Waitawa regional park is the closest to 440 and seeing that there are few trails there as well, we decided to go there instead. There is a carpark at the top of the hill for mountain bikers, but we parked at the Beachfront carpark instead. It’s a nice spot being in front of the beach. There are toilets there and also a good way to end the ride going down the Old School Party Groove trail. From the beachfront carpark, you can go via the Exploding Legs trail up to the mountain bike carpark which is the starting point for the trails. There are a few trails in the park but they are surprisingly fun and had really good views of the valley as well as the beach. There’s a good mix of fun downhill flowy trails and some good pedalling trails as well.
