Budding young track designers are being offered the opportunity to help design the pump track at the internationally anticipated Christchurch Adventure Park.

The Park is inviting Christchurch school students aged between 5 and 12 years old to design a pump track or a feature of a pump track as part of their design and explain why the Christchurch Adventure Park is important to them.

Entrants are encouraged to be creative and use their imagination. Entries can be in the form of a poster, video, powerpoint, or their designs could be a photo of a pump track created in the sandpit, made of lego or plastercine.

Christchurch Adventure Park Director, Darron Charity is excited to get the input from the younger generation.

“ We want the Park to be about the whole community – young and old, from beginner right through to the more advanced rider. It is a fantastic opportunity for the local school kids to be a part of the design team responsible for launching the Christchurch Adventure Park. It will be great that in years to come the kids can say ‘hey I helped design and build part of the Park’. I have no doubt that the children are going to come up with some great ideas and can’t wait to see their entries,” he says.

The six winning students will win a Christchurch Adventure Park build kit and will be invited to attend a workshop to provide input into the design of the pump track. They will visit the site throughout the build and most importantly claim the bragging rights to being the first kids to test and ride the pump track prior to the Park opening in December 2016.

Competition entries close August 17.
