North Waikato town developing into a fitness hubCHRISTEL YARDLEY/STUFF Victor Yong tries out the Electrify.NZ stepper on the Te Awa Great River Ride Perry Bridge (file photo). The North Waikato town is home to the popular Hakarimata walking track and its infamous 1349 stairs. Now, the town is opening Waikato District's first fitness trail, featuring outdoor gym equipment. The cycleway has brought so many more people to the town and the fitness trail will do the same, Wilson said. The fitness trail will also be beneficial to those who may not be able to afford a gym membership, she said.
