Background
Local tamariki have been making bike jumps in Waiwetu Reserve, and while unplanned activities are not always ideal, Council encourages diverse use of our parks and reserves. So, we’re planning to develop temporary bike jumps, in a more suitable location away from boundary fences and the sports field.
The plan
We propose supplying clay soil for tamariki to build bike jumps near the playground (see image below).
This location is most suitable because it is:
- 40m away from boundary fences
- outside of the sports field boundary
- does not impact park maintenance (i.e. lawn mowing, and landscaping)
Why will they be temporary?
Installing temporary bike jumps allows us to remove them quickly and at a lower cost should any problems arise after their installation.
