I grew up in Eskdale, had many school and family events there as a youngster.Then to turn it into a some commercial event I prefer it to be kept as a natural reserve that all can use and enjoy.

We need to keep some nature recreation areas untouched. There us a mtb bike park just down the road at pan pac so it's not sensible to remove this lovely family friendly parkMichelle Alexander (Napier, 2020-08-12)

This is one of the few large family friendly nature reserves for summer outings with water activities and room to play, eat and enjoy nature without feeling crammed with other people. There is space for all hereDianne Cowan (Napier, 2020-08-12)

Eskdale is a beautiful green peaceful park that iv been going to for over 30 years. Its a great space to think and reflect and take my dog for a walk. Its a safe space for kids to run around and play. The nature sounds you experience, the birds chirping, the gentle river flow, the fantails flying, the wind in the trees ... it would be lost if you developed it. It would be very sad.Monique Buckley (Napier, 2020-08-12)

I think Eskdale park is an absolute treasure as it is. I go there often with dogs and friends/family, would be an absolute dreadful thing to happen if it were developed into a mountain bike hub!!!Erin Olsen (Napier, 2020-08-12)

I’m signing because we need wide open spaces for children and families. Look at how many people use it. Way better than mountain bikers who already have places to goNicola Sisson (Napier, 2020-08-12)

It's a beautiful place to go to be in a natural park. I don't want that spoiled by man made structures...it will bring other problems, including a lot of rubbish and vadelisimJudeen Waterhouse (Hastings, 2020-08-12)

There are excessive cycling options around Hawke’s Bay Panpac, the endless mountain bike tracks around Hawke’s bay, TeMata peak, the track Marine Parade. We need to keep the balance on the region not just for one sport but for multiple sports and families too.Keep the balance.

We use this beautiful park all the time. Leave it alone .Jayne Kihi (Napier, 2020-08-12)

Not every undeveloped piece of land need be developed. This park is of greater value as a nature reserve than to lose that an ‘improved’ space for bikes.Plenty of other areas for that which are empty gorse covered paddocks.

I’m signing because I grew up in Napier and have some great memories in Bay View/ Eskdale/Esk Valley.As well, we really need to preserve our natural reserves and Nature in general.
Don’t let greed and capitalism destroy our provincial heritage.

I’m signing because this is a beautiful park, rural with a safe river. In summer it is packed. MOuntain bikers already have the great park at Whirinaki. So sad that you’re even contemplating thisJude Robertson (Napier, 2020-08-12)

We have used this park for generations in my family for family picnics; sports days celebrations. Leave it alone there is no where else like this in HB . Even though I live in New Plymouth I still own a house in Napier and pay rates there. I come home regularly for family events which involve at least a twice year visitation to the Eskdale Park.Suzanne Porter (New Plymouth, 2020-08-12)

its a park for everyone not just bike tracks we have enough the 1 on the beach front dont even get usedBeverley Wheeldon (Onekawa, 2020-08-12)
#333
We are from Napier and will be moving back soon. Eskdale is a beautiful park that at the moment can be enjoyed by all. Turn it into a bike park and only a few will be able to enjoy it. That's not fair.Lyndsey Starkey (Auckland, 2020-08-12)
#335
I'm local and use the park every day to walk my dogs. It is the only dog walking area in bayview/eskdale. I see many families during summer. It will destroy a big part of eskdale community.Liam Thomson (Napier, 2020-08-13)

#345
I go to this park with family & friends for picnics & generally chilling out. To see it changed into a bike park with tracks everywhere is not a good option as cyclists already have other options to go mountain biking over already established tracksBeverly Cannell (Napier, 2020-08-13)

Keep that beautiful park as it is. My family has had picnics there for the past twenty years.Neil Dunn (Napier, 2020-08-13)

This is a beautiful space for kids to roam freely and explore. Haveing a bike hun there would just ruin the beautiful space it is. We have spent many family days here with lots of fun to be had it would be such a shame to ruin it.Lauren Makene (Napier, 2020-08-13)

There are so few parks like Eskdale we need to preserve this precious treasure. There are plenty of other mountain bike areas already.Eskdale park is a very popular park it would be selfish to destroy it

I'm signing this because I believe it is better to leave eskdale park as it is than to change it for the bmx dirt trackMelissa Wilson (Napier, 2020-08-14)
#381
I believe the Eskdale Park should remain as a rural park. It has a fabulous history as a rural gathering point for the people of HB. Changing it to a mountain bike hub will deter the general populace from using it.Mark Speakman (Napier, 2020-08-14)
#382
It should stay as it is, and everyone can enjoys it, kids can bike as it is, play cricket, soccer, plenty of bike parks around now that just don't get looked afterNiki Scarrott (Napier, 2020-08-14)
#386
This park needs to be protected as it is a natural and beautiful green park unique to Eskdale.There are plenty of stunning bike tracks through out Hawkes Bay, no need to destroy the tranquility found within Eskdale

The Eskdale Park is one of the only parks in the area that is great to enjoy on a nice day with the family. There is so much space in the area that can be used for MTB kind of activities. The area near Murphy Road on the side near the expressway is a much better place to utilise for these kind of activitiesLiz van Zuijlen (Napier, 2020-08-15)
