Where To Ride in New Zealand – Motocross Tracks, Parks & Clubs

If you want to know where to ride in New Zealand, or you already know of some tracks or bike parks that you can share with everyone, then you’ve landed on the right page.

Good ol’ New Zealand – Land of the long white cloud and rolling pastures… and yes, full of sheep. With so many farms it’s little wonder we have an ever-growing interest in motocross and trail riding. What else would all our boys do to relieve that tension built up from squeezing cows tits all day?

Having a large coastline, we also have plenty of sand dunes to ride on, mostly for free… at present. But who knows down the track (excuse the pun). With more and more people becoming interested in the sport, and more people moving out into the rural areas to live, there is beginning to be a conflict of interests in some areas.

Ol’ Square-Eyed Richard (Dick), new to the countryside wants piece and quiet in his newly-found slice of paradise. He certainly doesn’t like those ‘noisy motorbikes’ so he becomes hell bent on pushing local council to clamp down on these pesky fun-seekers. So lap up the free riding areas while you can my friends. But let’s also let fellow dirt bikers know where to ride in N.Z using this directory.

Do you know of a motox track or bike park you wish to submit for everyone else to know about? Simply fill in the form below to submit a track, or head straight to the bottom of this page to check out the tracks already listed.

Original content and approved submissions will become their own unique page on this website where people can leave comments. All submissions will be added to the directory below.

Preferred Details Required For Submitting A Track:

• Name of the track/park
• Location/address including city and state
• Phone number
• Type of track
• Open hours/days
• Website (if they have one)

Don’t get your merino wool undies in a twist if you don’t have all the information. If they have a website, I can add in the missing details.

Thank you for contributing and helping more Kiwi dirt bike riders find out where to ride in Aotearoa!
