Wainui Park is a joint venture between Hutt City Council and the Wainuiomata Trail Project (a group of keen mountain bikers and volunteers). The park is mixed use (mountain biking and running) and e-bike friendly. Trails range from easy climbs to technical down hills, and there are a great selection of beginner/family tracks and a skills area. The tracks are set in regenerating native bush and also a significant wetland area. Wainui Park also has a large flat grassed area next to the car park, with a shelter and toilet facilitates, which can be used for events. Bookings are made though the Hutt City Council

In 1998 the Wellington City Council set aside 200 hectares of retired farmland in Karori southwest of Wellington, New Zealand, for a mountain bike park. Development of the Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park began almost immediately with volunteer work parties planting trees, removing pest animals and digging new tracks. By 2014 the park had grown to 250 hectares with over 40 kilometres of hand-built single track and over 35,000 native seedlings planted. The park is free to use and open to both cyclists and pedestrians.

Belmont regional park is a multi use, regionally owned, park incorporating a work farm. Uses include Mountain biking, walking, running and horse riding. Between mid August and Late October, some parts of the park may be closed for lambing. There are several entrances into the park. Most of the mountain biking trails are accessed via the top of Hill Road, in Belmont or at the end of Stratton Street in Mungaraki.
