We know it can get rather busy in and around our two netball venues on a Saturday so here's a polite reminder to take care to plan ahead when visiting Ākau Tangi Sports Centre & Hataitai Netball Courts.  

Please think about...

Planning ahead to time your arrival to coincide with an earlier game finishing to maximise the opportunity to find a park vacated by someone leaving.

Be patient - it may result in a few trips around the block but may pay off!

Adhering to all parking signs - this includes:

• No parking in the 2 minute drop off zone when at Ākau Tangi Sports Centre.  
  This area is to be kept free for set down only and allows easy access for ambulance call-outs and care of injured people. Occupying this area is inconvenient for many.

• No parking in yellow line areas including in front of the gateway at Hataitai Netball Courts. Ambulance services & our own staff need to access these on a Saturday so please leave for their use.

• Take care to park legally in designated car parks both on the premises and street-side.
  Please avoid parking in disabled spaces, blocking driveways or creating make-shift spaces beside painted parking spaces or using the footpath including the front of Ākau Tangi Sports Centre near the exit point.

• No parking on grass verges or hill area outside Ākau Tangi Sports Centre or Hataitai Park.  Please be respectful of any areas cordoned off with cones or tape.

Parking wardens may be patrolling the area resulting in fines or towage at your own risk.
Explore parking options further afield in nearby streets and prepare to park & walk if need be.
