Eskdale local Trina Bergloff-Howes founded the group, now an incorporated society, in response to the Hastings District Council s 2018 release of the Hawke s Bay Mountain Bike Club s (HBMTBC) plan. The plan includes the building of a hub , car parking for 200 and a swing bridge situated near the current site of the park s toilets.
