    visited for the PK softball tournament. The facilities were good a bit of love might be required. Some seating was overgrown and it looked like a hill. The toilets were not clearly marked, but the organiser was able to point us in the right direction. The tournament itself was entertaining good to see some familiar faces. They had a talented face painter for the kids, coffee truck, and sausage sizzle. Good wholesome fun.

    Watch a night game of rugby there, lighting is pretty substandard for rugby, but ok for a training night. Went back to Wellington's club rooms after the game. …

    Had a round of tennis with the kids. Not many people, as it was a bit windy, typical for Wellington! But we had fun. Great facilities.

    Netball courts. Not in the beat condition, slippery when wet, loses sunlight early so one half of the courts don't dry out fully. Tidy. Good upstairs pavillion facilities though.
