About Taranaki Cycle Park

A public cycle park at Hickford Park in Bell Block, New Plymouth, on St Andrews Drive. It opened in September 2012. The park has a 1.75 km closed road circuit with two smaller 1 km loops, and a 333 m velodrome. There is also a learners' pad, a pump track, an obstacle course and a mini road circuit with traffic lights and road signs, designed for younger riders.

The park can be reached from the Coastal Walkway, a few kilometres past the Te Rewa Rewa bridge, or by road from Bell Block. The road route follows the signs from Parklands Avenue onto Smeaton Road and then St Andrews Drive. The website describes the park as a place for riders of all ages to practise and ride, and it is owned and run by Venture Taranaki.
