Building a Mountain Bike Destination, Together
The dream that started with local kids carving tracks at Riddell’s Reserve is about to become real.
This November, the diggers roll in to build Geraldine’s very own mountain bike park, and by January 2026, we’ll be opening the trails for everyone to ride, play, and connect.
This isn’t just a park. It’s a community project that will bring families together, give youth a place to belong, and put Geraldine on the map as a biking destination.
Will you be part of the story?
How You Can Help
We’ve got the land. We’ve got the plans. We’ve even got some amazing local funders backing us already. But what will make this park truly shine is our whole community coming on board.
There are a few ways you can be part of the story:
-
Sponsor → Put your name behind something that will last generations.
-
Donate → Every little bit helps us get the trails built and planted.
-
Volunteer → Bring your hands, your tools, or just your enthusiasm, we’ll find a spot for you.
For more information contact Larissa Drysdale MTB project manager - phone 027 5300180 or email hello@larissadrysdale.com or info@bikegeraldine.co.nz for extra info
We don’t just want to acknowledge our sponsors, we want to partner with you. Your support helps build the park, but it also gives your business recognition and connection with locals, visitors, and families for years to come.

Let's Do This, Together
The diggers roll in this November, and by the end of January 2026 we’ll be standing at the top of the trailhead saying: look what we built together.
This is more than tracks in the dirt. It’s a place for joy, for connection, and for memories that will last a lifetime.
