Now you can make a tangible contribution to the Pūkeko Centre fund raising initiative … with just a few simple clicks!
We’re providing much needed facilities for a whole range of grass-roots clubs and groups in east Christchurch – and we’re doing it off our own bat.
Please give generously to this community project through our givealittle page.
On Sunday 28th May 2017 the Joint Project Committee will be hosting an information session for anyone interested in finding out more about the Pūkeko Centre.
This is your chance to meet the project team, learn more about the new facility and get an update on development progress. It will also be a great opportunity for you to share your ideas, ask lots of questions and find out how you can get involved.
This informal session will be of particular interest to any local groups or organisations that may be interested in using the new facility.
Everyone is welcome! We do just ask that you RSVP by phone or email if you are planning to attend. Afternoon tea will be provided.
When: Sunday 28th May, 2017 4pm – 5.30pm
Where: Parklands Bowling Club, 30 Chadbury Street, Parklands
RSVP to: info@pukekocentre.co.nz or call Wayne Eden on 027 454 6890
Well, this incredible dream that has been three years or more in the making is finally starting to become a very concrete reality. If you’ve visited the Parklands Bowling Club recently you’ll have noticed the impressive foundation structure that has been laid in readiness for the Modern Learning Studio. If you haven’t seen it, it’s definitely worth a drive-by – the enormous concrete footprint really gives you a sense of the scale of Stage 1 of the Pūkeko Centre development.
Preparations are now in their final stages for the relocation of two buildings from the former Freeville School site. Both buildings have been braced for the journey and raised off the ground, ready for lift-off. Any potentially problematic trees along the planned route have been trimmed back, to ensure the late-night move goes without a hitch.
Stay tuned! As soon as we have a firm date for the shift (which I can tell you will be very soon) we’ll let you know.
A versatile, multi-use facility
The Pūkeko Centre is a joint venture being undertaken by the Parklands Bowling Club and the Parklands Rugby Football Club.
It involves the relocation of two buildings from the former Freeville School – the Modern Learning Studio and the School Hall – onto the Parklands Bowling Club site in Chadbury Street.
These two ideally suited and good quality buildings were previously earmarked for demolition but have generously been made available to us by the Ministry of Education. We are thrilled to be able to put them to good use for the benefit of the wider Parklands Community!
The completed centre will provide a range of options for indoor and outdoor recreation and social activity including shared clubrooms, meeting rooms, café, hall, ample parking, bowling greens and all- weather courts for netball, futsal and tennis.
The first phase of the development is expected to be completed ??
Meeting the needs of the community
Over the past three years the Project Committee has been actively consulting not only with other local groups, clubs and organisations but they have also built strong connections with managers of the other facilities in the area. We are now uniquely positioned to understand and meet the needs of a growing community and to ensure that the new facilities complement, rather than compete with, other local facilities.
Current progress (updated 23.1.17)
We are excited to be able to report that Phase one is now almost completely funded and work is now underway to prepare the site for the relocation. Relocation of both buildings is expected to take place in March. Visit Latest News for further updates
