Ōhiwa trail park project
We’re working with landowner and community partners to design and build a trail park of national significance in the Ōhiwa forest — for local whānau, visiting riders and everyone in between.
Trails for every rider, built with the community

Land-use and community-engagement agreements are being finalised, and trail design has started. We’ll share each milestone here as it happens — including chances to have your say.

Questions
Can I ride at Ōhiwa now?
Not yet. The forest is a working forest and there are no public trails. Please don’t enter until we announce an opening — Onepū is open in the meantime.
When will it open?
We don’t have a date yet. Build timelines depend on agreements, consents and funding. We’ll post each milestone here.
