Steve, the organiser, wants to reach out to the sports community with a personal note about Ngā Purapura. Located at the Te Wānanga o Raukawa campus in Ōtaki, this centre is a hub for wellbeing and fitness.

Ngā Purapura features a fully equipped gym, courts, meeting rooms, classrooms, and a café. It’s designed to help everyone achieve their health and fitness goals in a holistic way. The centre follows the Te Whare Tapa Whā model, covering physical, mental, spiritual, and social wellbeing.

At Ngā Purapura, you’ll have access to top-notch exercise equipment for all sorts of workout routines. There are courts for basketball, netball, and volleyball, making it perfect for team sports. For those interested in learning, the meeting rooms and classrooms host workshops and seminars.
