THE DISTRICT now has a<br />
sports centre it can truly be<br />
proud of.<br />
On Sunday, thousands<br />
turned out for the opening<br />
of the $21.5 million facility<br />
– the largest indoor sports<br />
centre in Canterbury –<br />
which is sited at Foster Park<br />
in Rolleston.<br />
This positions the district<br />
not only for its own indoor<br />
sports but as a top-notch<br />
facility to draw big games<br />
from outside of <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
The 8000 sq m centre<br />
features New Zealand’s<br />
first interactive digital<br />
playground, along with eight<br />
sports courts, a 240m indoor<br />
walking track and space for<br />
community sports groups to<br />
operate.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> sports groups, as<br />
expected, are very happy<br />
with the facility.<br />
“I think it’s a fantastic step<br />
forward for the community,”<br />
says <strong>Selwyn</strong> United Football<br />
Club president Darren<br />
Sudlow.<br />

"Seeing the changes in freshwater quality and land<br />
use in the past three decades motivated me to get<br />
involved and have my say on water management in<br />
