Gonna go out to the bike park(weather permitting) this weekend so will have some more videos to post.

dirtman Posted December 3, 2019 Share Hazendal Family Bike park now offers free entry for ADULT permit holders of Tygerberg and Bottelary when they bring their kids to ride at Hazendal.

ChrisF Posted December 3, 2019 Share If it's anything like uitsig bike park then the price is fine. Which is why I am asking. We started cycling at Hazendal before the revamp and the new pump track. We KNOW they have done a lot for the kids. BUT, previous feedback offered little for adult riders ... dont know if this has improved. And since we have Tygerberg club cards we have multiple other tracks to ride .... So Hazendal really needs to offer something exceptional for BOTH kids and adults to warrent the cost. IF they do, well then I will gladly pay it.
