Scott Webby of Shapeshifter Landscapes works on the new turf surrounding the new sealed pump track at McGazzaland in Wakefield which is due to open on May 22.
It’s been the perfect destination for rugged mountainbikes and BMXs but soon Wakefield’s McGazzaland pump track will have the perfect seal for a variety of wheels. McGazzaland crew member Dan Shallcrass said the pump track will be opening on May 22 from 1.30pm to the public with a smoother look and feel after asphalt had been laid and ready lawn had been rolled out. It will mark the finish of a four-year labour of love on a piece of land between the Wakefield Fire Station and Wai-iti River in memory of the freeride mountain bike legend Kelly McGarry, who was originally from Wakefield.
