Trail maintenance
Nelson has the aspiration of being a World Class location for mountain biking, and Nelson City Council plays an active roll in helping achieve this goal. As well as investing in new trail builds, events and facilities we also have the responsibility of maintaining 29 of Nelson's 65 mountain bike trails. Nelson Mountain Bike Club manages the maintenance on the other 36.
While the Recreation Aotearoa Mountain Bike Trail Design Guidelines give us a solid foundation to work from we aspire to exceed these standards to ensure the best possible riding experience for residents and visitors to our city. We have a multi-year contract with the experienced and skilled team at Living Trails which manage this work on a day to day basis.
