Lynn-Avon United Football Club is a family-focused football club based at Ken Maunder Park, 34 Binsted Road in New Lynn, Auckland. It was formed in 1996 when Avondale United and Lyndale AFC amalgamated. The club takes players from four-year-olds in its Little League through junior teams to senior men's and women's teams and Men's Conference League teams, and it says football is for everyone.
The park has three full-size fields, two of them floodlit, three junior fields, one of them floodlit, and floodlit training areas. Its clubrooms overlook the playing fields and are open for refreshments, and the grounds have been improved by Auckland Council. Access to an indoor facility is through the Ken Maunder Park Community Trust. The club says it has clear pathways from junior football to senior competition, and that its first season as Lynn-Avon produced premiership titles in the senior men's and women's teams. Our pick in New Lynn for a family football club with a long local history.
