The Ponderosa soon followed, named by local children after the ranch in TV western series Bonanza. First try the 1km green route, starting and finishing at the park’s outdoor gym area. With practice, build up from one lap to two, before continuing into Crookes Valley Park and taking on the full 3km blue route. The 1km route follows a figure of 8 on a generally hard surface, with some slight incline. When following the 3km route, take care crossing Crookes Valley Road and watch out for mud on the unsurfaced part of the track through the park. Enjoy spotting people fishing on what once was the Old Great Dam.
