A popular Auckland mountain bike park is closed for two days after a rider's death.
On Monday evening, a representative from Woodhill Mountain Bike Park took to social media to announce the death.
"We are very sad to share that a rider has passed away at our park today. Our thoughts are with their family and friends at this difficult time."
In the post, the representative said it would remain closed for the next two days, reopening on Thursday.
"We are also taking this time to support our staff and our riding community.
"Thank you for your understanding, patience, and care."
In January 2024, the park also closed after a rider died.
At the time, police said medical assistance was provided but the person who fell from their mountain bike died at the scene.
Police have been contacted for comment about Monday's death.
