One of the most rewarding parts of our work at Programmed Facility Management is the enhancement of the exciting and vibrant communities that we serve – which is why we’re thrilled to share the completion of New Zealand’s pump track project at Tawaipareira Reserve on Waiheke Island!
For those unacquainted, a ‘pump track’ is purpose-built track for cycling, involving a circuit of features designed to be ridden by ‘pumping’ – or generating momentum by up and down body movements instead of pedaling or pushing.
Managed and delivered by our experienced project team - comprising Brent Daw, Alex Smith, Avnit Gounder, Mike Smith, Nicole Daw, and Malcolm MacIver - we’ve worked tirelessly alongside Auckland Council to turn this vision into reality. From thorough planning to smooth execution, every detail was carefully coordinated to ensure the project’s success.
Thanks to a collaboration with the expertise and commitment of Cameron Rennie from Parklife, Waiheke Island can now enjoy the latest in pump track technology, ensuring the track meets the highest standards of durability, maintenance, and accessibility for riders of all skill levels. Additionally, his team’s artistic touch has added a vibrant flair to the nearby basketball court, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the reserve.
We’re proud to have partnered with our self-delivery team and Programmed contractor, JFC, to complete the various components of this project. From concrete works to track installation, every aspect of the project was handled with accuracy and professionalism.
In March, the project was handed over to Auckland Council for the grand opening day. The local community’s response has been overwhelmingly positive, with residents expressing their excitement and appreciation for this new state-of-the-art facility. It’s a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation in creating spaces that bring people together.
As we continue to strive for excellence in community development, we look forward to seeing the pump track at Tawaipareira Reserve become a hub of activity and enjoyment for years to come – a testament to the fantastic work we do to foster connection in our communities!
