INTRODUCTION
The Taranaki Velodrome Trust (now renamed The Taranaki Cycle Park Trust) was formed in May 2006 with the vision of replacing Taranaki’s only velodrome that had been removed to make way for the sports development now known as Yarrow Stadium. That vision grew to also include a completely vehicle free Road Circuit. There is no other facility like it in New Zealand.
The Taranaki Cycle Park was officially opened on 2 September 2012. It is situated at Hickford Park, Bell Block adjacent to the foreshore pathway - a few kilometers on from the Te Wera Bridge. Or may be accessed by road from Bell Block down Parklands Avenue then follow the sign down Smeaton Road.
The Park includes:
1.75km closed road circuit with 2 separate1km loops and a 333 metre velodrome.
Plus added in 2015:
Junior Mini Road circuit with Traffic Lights, Roundabouts etc, Limestone obstacle course, Pump track and
Learners Pad
The Park is open 24/7 and is available for individuals to use unless booked for an event or activity. For details of events and information on booking procedures please check the calendar on the bookings page.
For Disabled access please contact the New Plymouth Disability Centre.
Current Trustees are: Wayne Silby (chairperson), Ian Selby, Graham Walker, Graham Park and Mike Tapp.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Was a cold afternoon but the kids didn't seem to mind, and were really keen to head over to the cycle park for a play. Hardly anyone else around so we had the place to ourselves pretty much. Just such a good place for the little ones to begin learning about road sense, give way signs, traffic lights and so on, and a great big track for the braver ones to cycle around. Just managed to get into the car before the rain came, we will definitely be back

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome place for little ones, there is a track for kids with give way signs, traffic signals, railway track, speed bumps and more. Very tidy and well maintained. It is fun and interesting way to teach kids road sense. Best place to visit and spend an evening if you have kids.
There is an option to donate fund's too. Good for teaching kids to value public spaces.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ All sorts of cycling options for kids young and old. Have a crack on the BMX track, or help the kids learn how to follow the road rules on the mini road layout. Plus it’s a great kicking off point to ride to town and back.
