Gallagher Skills Park
The $28.5 million Grassroots Trust Velodrome features a world class 250m velodrome track and links up with nearby BMX, road, trail and mountain biking facilities. It also features an area large enough to host other indoor sports and community events and houses the offices of national sporting organisations Bike NZ and Triathlon NZ, a café, public fitness centre and office space.
The facility provides a base for New Zealand’s cycling elite and is also available for community use, allowing those keen to give track cycling a go to follow in the footsteps of the country’s legends.
With 'Have-a-Go' sessions available, all levels are able to experience riding on a Velodrome track. For more info click here.
