The New Plymouth Croquet Club (NPCC) is located in a sheltered area beside the Te Henui River and the nearby coastal walkway in New Plymouth, New Zealand. The club boasts four meticulously maintained lawns where members can enjoy playing both Association and Golf Croquet. If you are interested in becoming a part of our club, you can contact our friendly secretary at npcroquetclub@gmail. Com.
The tradition of croquet in Taranaki has spanned over 150 years, and in 2021, NPCC proudly celebrated the centenary of the Taranaki Croquet Association, now known as Croquet Taranaki Incorporated (CTI). In our 2023 Annual General Meeting, we honoured Peter Batchelor, our Club Captain for Golf Croquet, with a Life Membership to NPCC. You can read Peter's citation under the 'Life Member' tab on our website.
At NPCC, our mission is to provide a croquet club that offers a friendly, supportive, and challenging environment for players of all skill levels. We strive to create an enjoyable and competitive gaming experience for everyone. Our club is powered by Sporty. co.
nz, and our website offers an Admin Login for registered members.
If you're wondering where to find us, you can either park on Watson Street (opposite the Devon Hotel on Devon Street) and take a short walk to the club, or you can park at the sea end of Baring Terrace and cross the bridge over the Te Henui river.
