Progress on the Murchison Pump track has been as smooth as the crafted asphalt curves themselves and at this stage we are anticipating an official opening date of Saturday 20 April.
The pump track itself was completed in mid-February, which paved the way for landscaping, establishment of the viewing platform, fencing and the installation of shade sails and picnic tables to get underway.
This is all tracking along nicely – helped in part by the ongoing sunny weather across the District and the myriad of contractors, volunteers and community members who’ve pitched in to date.
We just want to remind people that while we’re going full tilt on the final touches, there are still contractors onsite as well as hazards like unmarked holes in the ground or rocks on surfaces that we need to keep you safe from.
We know everyone is keen to have a turn on this epic facility, but we would ask that for your own safety, please respect the signs to stay out of the area as this is still a construction site for the time being.
Along with the team at the Murchison Sport, Recreation & Cultural Centre, we’ll let everyone know further details on how we’ll celebrate this much-anticipated addition to the town.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page for more information about the official opening event.
