Westgate Park
We are extremely fortunate to be able to utilise such a fantastic venue as Westgate Park for our Kona Dirt Crits, however it requires the co-operation of everyone involved; be it on Thursday night at the event or at any other time you may be riding down at the park. It is vital that you remain on the multi-user trails that we have been granted permission to ride. The multi-user trails are awesome and there is no need to use other areas of the park for MTB'ing. Failure to stick to the permitted multi-user trails by anyone will result in the permit being revoked. It's in your hands. Thanks!
