 Cooks Gardens contains New Zealand’s first wooden cycling velodrome, which was built in 1994 and has been host to many international, national and local events. A number of national records have been set on the track. The fast track and Wanganui’s very favourable climate have resulted in several overseas cycling teams using the venue for training.
 Wanganui has a very strong Cycling Club, with many internationally qualified coaches and officials and excellent training facilities resulting in one of the strongest cycling centres in the country.
Investigations are presently being made into the development of the velodrome to provide a fully covered events centre, which will cater to an even wider range of sports and events.
