To find Taikorea: Use the Google map, or follow the directions below...

Taikorea Motocross Park is a park developed purely for the off-road motorcycle enthusiast. The terrain is an undulating sandy soil base with quite a few pine trees to boot (literally). The park itself is located about halfway between Palmerston North and Foxton.
To find the place...
If coming south through Sanson the best bet would be to head South along State Highway 1 and turn left into Taikorea Rd (about the 6th turn on the left from Sanson). On an event day it will be sign posted from the main roads.
For people travelling north, the Taikorea turn-off is about 3 roads past the Himitangi turn-off on the right (8 km's).
If coming from Palmerston it is probably best to take SH56 out through Longburn and turn right at Rangiotu and then left into Taikorea Rd.
From Feilding, go out through Rongotea and then left down Kellow Rd (a few km's west of Rongotea) until you hit Taikorea Rd, then turn right.
The entrance to the park itself will have a sign erected on event days. However like many developing riders, if you wish to train outside of Dirt-Days and other organised events you now have the opportunity thanks to AFC Motorcycles.
AFC in Palmerston North (Location map on right) offer a great new service where riders of all ages and abilities can book a key from Winton and ride all day. For full details about this opportunity read on... |
