Activities & Day Trips
Whataupoko Mountan Bike Park
Whataupoko Reserve and Mountain Bike Park located on the hill end of Fox Street encloses the largest mountain bike park in Gisborne. It caters for mountain bikers of various abilities and skills with multiple trails of various grades. Some downhill trails are dedicated to mountain bike riders only but there are also many shared trails for both walkers and mountain bikers.
The Gisborne Mountain Bike Club maintains the trails and a trail counter, while local businesses support specific trails, which display their names. Trail maps are located at three locations within the park, with a copy of the map below, and also through the trailforks app or website, although this may not be fully up to date.
