The newly constructed Onepu Park will be hosting a fundraising event for Whakatane's Olympic hopeful Karen Hanlen on Sunday.
Onepu Park, situated on State Highway 30 near Braemar Rd, is a new mountain biking park built on a Norske Skog Tasman forestry lot.
The official opening for the park will also be on Sunday, where a blessing will be held before the Karen Hanlen Olympic Dream fundraiser begins.
The day begins at 9.45am with a duathlon through the park's new trails. At 10.30am, a mountain bike fun ride will begin and then at noon, an 8km or 16km mountainbike race will take place. There will also be walking events and children's events on the day and all proceeds from entry costs will go towards the Karen Hanlen Olympic Dream fund.
Around 16km of tracks have been opened to the public and there are plans for more.
