The legacy of an Invercargill man is expected to bring laughter, laps and a few scrapes with a new pump track installed in his former suburb.
Otatara man Derek Gostelow left $90,000 to the Invercargill City Council in his will, to help fund community projects.
After consultation, an asphalt pump track, park benches and informal play area were mooted for the site on the corner of Oreti Rd and Dunns Rd in Otatara.
The track and park were officially opened on Friday with a blessing, and local school children and the Southland Mountain Bike Club breaking it in.
