Foxton Beach's Pump Track is officially open, and scores of kids turned up on Sunday morning with bikes and scooters to test it out.
Mayor Michael Feyen and Community Board Chair David Roache cut the ribbon and had the honour of doing the first official ride along the track.
Of course long before the official opening the kids had tested the track with great enthusiasm.
"This project was driven by the children of this community and is yet another reason why Foxton and Foxton beach are such a wonderful place for both locals and tourists," said the Mayor.
Both he and Mr Roach expressed the hope the track would be used and looked after by the locals.
