Crocodile XC MTB Park is a cross-country focused park in Christchurch's scenic Port Hills on private land adjoining Halswell Quarry Park, featuring purpose-built lap-race course options for all skill levels. Built and maintained by the Christchurch Singletrack Club since 2011, the park offers multiple short, sharp trails designed with beginner, intermediate, and advanced riders in mind. The trails are free to ride (except during events) and close only during winter when conditions are too wet.
