Community Facilities
Our District offers a wide range of leisure and recreation opportunities and we encourage our
communities and visitors to use them. Our strategy is to maintain our community facilities so that we
can continue to enjoy them, although we will reduce our investment in renewing some older assets.
This group of activities contributes to the engagement, environment and economy community
outcomes.
What we do
We manage and service parks, reserves, playgrounds, open spaces, multi-purpose sports,
entertainment and event venues (Taupo Events Centre, and the Great Lake Centre), as well as pools,
gyms and sports grounds throughout the District. This ensures there are sporting, aquatic and
recreational opportunities for the community, as well as exercise facilities for the physical and mental
well-being of everyone who spends time in the District, including visiting children and their families.
We also support Learn to Swim lessons sponsored by Contact Energy at all our pools.
