Maidstone Community Sports Hub
Work is about to begin on the on the Maidstone Community Sports Hub.
Taranaki Whānui kaumatua, Kura Moeahu, recently blessed the site, and the contractors (Maycrofts) have begun preparing it for demolition.
Key components of the $32m project project are:
- It's the first stage of a three year project which involves a new community indoor training facility and shared clubrooms, as well as upgrades to multiple sporting facilities on the park.
- While work is underway, there is no public parking onsite, and pedestrian only access to the Heretaunga Boxing Club building, UH Rams RFC Gym, and the rugby turfs.
- Premier rugby in 2022 will still be played at Maidstone Park on the premium playing surfaces, and Portacom changing facilities will be provided.
- The wider components of the sports hub project (upgraded car park, petanque pistes, new tennis shelter, football dugouts, hockey shelters etc.) will be delivered in later stages.
- The project is being jointly funded by Upper Hutt City Council and the NZ Government, as part of the Infrastructure Reference Group programme.
