We live in Rosedale within biking distance and have found this Bmx park before, we haven't been back, but would have if it had been properly maintained. Great for building young kids confidence! Our girls are 8, 6 and 3 so plenty of years of use ahead of them

It’s important that we keep and develop these public assets where we can.

Kids and adults need more activities and this helps promote active lifestyles

Just ONE BMX track, on the other side of town, makes it very hard for BMX riders to access their sport. The BMX track is a cheap and fun option for families, which Waikiwi is home to many.

I think it's a great idea, that park needs it.

It could be such an asset to the city. in addittion, I would like to see part of it set up as a pump track so that younger children could also enjoy the space.

It was always an excellent space for a BMX track. I grew up in the neighborhood and we used it loads of times. Refurb it and you will have kids from all over town using it.

Me and my daughter regularly go there and I used to go there when I was younger. I would love to be able to ride the ramps again with my daughter like I used to. It's just been let go

I think it would be amazing for our community for the BMX to be given a new lease in life. My kids and I offer go down there but it is pretty dangerous in its current state.

Macaela Hendriks (Invercargill, 2021-05-18)

I live in Waikiwi and my boys would love this re opened. We don’t have enough for our kids to do at this end of town. Totally support this wonderful idea

This would be beneficial for all the kids to have this up and running again. We have to keep today's generation of kids occupied out doors.

My kids would love the new BMX track. They even go there now and ride their bikes there. Also my husband used to race on that track about 35 years ago 😁

I'm signing this petition to support the group of people that are driving this project forward. This sport is of great benefit to children. Not only is it of use for youth to learn how to compete in a sport, the health advantages are positive, and rebuilding this BMX track will increase the community no end. The youth in the area will have an option for activity, other than just ' hanging out ' on the streets.

The more opportunities for people to be active the better. I do think it should be a bike skills area though, not just a bmx track

We are local, we have grown up here and I used the track as a child and I would love for my own children to utilise the space

Dania Jane (Invercargill , 2021-05-20)

#126

Why would you not want this BMX track open and functional for the children to use. Seems a waste to let it become run down and over grown

Aleisha Drake (Invercargill, 2021-05-20)

This is a great wee bike park and really needs to be looked after by the council.. the local kids try to look after the jumps but someone keeps knocking them down again.. grrr

We have two boys who would absolutely love a place to ride their bikes in this area.

My son loves going to this track with his friends and cousins. He would love it to be well cared for, he would like to see it mowed, the glass cleaned up, and the track re-established.
