About Grassroots Trust Velodrome
On the 11th of June 2010, Prime Minister John Key, and Minister for Sport and Recreation Murray McCully announced a major reshaping and expansion of high-performance sports in New Zealand. One of the key programmes included in the announcement was the development of a cycling centre of excellence, to build on the success of Bike NZ’s high-performance programme.
In July 2010, Sport & Recreation NZ (SPARC) announced that it would run a tender process for the development of the National Cycling Centre of Excellence that would expand high-performance cycling outcomes; increase awareness of and participation in cycling disciplines within the community, and nurture increased levels of high-performance cycling talent. SPARC specified that as well as a world-class velodrome, the centre would also need to have ready access to world-class training and competition facilities for road, mountain bike, and BMX, alongside accessible community facilities.
The Home of Cycling (HoC) Charitable Trust was established with the principle objective to promote cycling at all levels within NZ, as well as to build and operate the National Centre of Excellence in the Waikato/BOP for all forms and all levels of cycling, recreational to high performance. From 11 tenders, SPARC selected the Waikato/BOP bid from the HoC as the preferred tenderer, and on the 14th of September 2011, following a $6m investment from Waikato Regional Council; SPARC confirmed the Waikato/Bay of Plenty HoC as the successful tenderer.
Construction of the Grassroots Trust Velodrome (originally named the Avantidrome) began in June 2012 and was completed in February 2014, taking a total of 21 months to complete.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice velodrome, is small for European guys but the ride is nice! Little bit hot. This Velodrome is nice to organize World Cup events but I think is so small for World Championship
