Ngā Awa Block
Ngā Awa Block is an amenities building in Taihape for various sporting and recreation organisations in the community. Council collaborated with Taihape residents on the building and what was needed, and so far, it has seen a significant uptake of users, particularly during winter sports months.
The construction of the Ngā Awa Block was completed in August 2023, with an opening ceremony held by Council and the community. The building has become a much welcome addition to Taihape Memorial Park.
The 298m2 building is adjacent to the tennis and netball courts. There is four changing rooms, each with toilets and showers, kitchen (There are no cooking facilities in the kitchen – however there is a dishwasher, large fridge and microwave), multi-purpose rooms, extra referee rooms, and an upstairs room looking over the tennis courts and rugby fields.
The Totara Room (upstairs) has wifi and is great for media.
The building is fully accessible, with two of the three public toilets accessible.
Please note: The public facilities are locked daily at 9pm and open at 6am.
