Safety is a top priority at Wellington BMX Track. Bikes must have slick tyres, and riders are required to wear a full-face helmet and gloves. Elbow and knee guards are strongly recommended for added protection.
If individuals are interested in competing and racing, they have the option to join the Capital BMX Club as an individual or as a family. Club memberships, which include a BMX NZ race licence, start at $100. The BMX race season runs from September to April, allowing members to enjoy training and interclub racing.
Wellington City Council collaborated with the Capital BMX Club to plan, fundraise, and build the Wellington BMX Track. The track was designed by Brett Barnes of DIRTZ, Australasia's leading BMX track designer, and built by Empire of Dirt, internationally renowned New Zealand track builders.
