Paines Ford

John, the organiser, would like to invite everyone in the sports community to experience Paines Ford in Takaka, located in the beautiful Nelson/Tasman region of New Zealand. Known for its stunning natural surroundings, Paines Ford offers rock climbing and other activities for all skill levels.

Rock climbing at Paines Ford caters to both beginners and experienced climbers. With a variety of routes and climbing walls, everyone can find their challenge here. The area features limestone cliffs, granite boulders, and vertical walls, making it a great spot for diverse climbing opportunities.

If rock climbing isn’t your thing, Paines Ford also has plenty to offer those who prefer to stay grounded. There are walking tracks that follow an old tramline, leading to swimming holes perfect for a refreshing dip on a warm day.

Getting to Paines Ford is straightforward, with easy access by both private and public transport. The Whakatū/Nelson Visitor Centre is a handy resource for any information you need about the area.

John reminds everyone that Paines Ford is more than just a place for activities. It’s also a place where the land's rich history and connection to local Māori culture can be appreciated.
