Ideal for beginners who can have a blast on the fun learn to ride area, complete with roundabout, intersections and road signs – everything you need to practice cycling in a road environment. For the more experienced, recreational and elite cyclist and riders, we have a purpose built 333m track.
The track is open 24/7 to members of the public - unless it has been booked in advance. A notice board itemising future bookings, is currently available at the velodrome. The track is perfect for bookings by schools, sporting groups, local groups, birthday parties and more.
Track booking information is currently written up on a white board on the wall of the underpass. At certain times the track or the learn to ride area may be booked for use.
General park guidelines and track guideline signage have been installed. Please read these before use.
The Velodrome will be run and managed by the Tasman District Council this will include all bookings and use of the Velodrome. Further information will follow in the coming weeks about this.
Contact Reserves and Facilities team member Glenn Thorn for enquiries.
The design includes a 333m-long embanked track with a sealed surface width of 7m and banking ranging from 7 degrees to 21.3 degrees.
There's also an inner warm up track and learn to ride area. The inner area of the track is accessed by an underpass that leads the public under the main track.
The velodrome is a regional facility based on collaboration between Tasman District Council, Nelson City Council and the Saxton Velodrome Trust. It replaces the existing track at Trafalgar Park.
Advertising opportunities and asset sponsorship is currently available at the Saxton Velodrome.This is administered by the Parks and Facilites Department.
