Stanley Bay Petanque Club is a petanque club on Stanley Point Road, on the waterfront at Stanley Point in Devonport. It began as a bowling club, and in 2024 the members voted to stop bowls and rename it to focus on petanque. The old bowling green was converted into 18 international-sized pistes, which the club uses for national and international tournaments, as well as its own games.
Play is on Wednesdays at 10am, followed by an optional morning tea in the clubrooms, and on Fridays and Saturdays at 3pm. The clubrooms and bar open at about 5.30pm on those days. The club also runs coaching sessions, tournaments and social events, from wine tastings to dinners, and a newsletter for members.
Members have also worked on the land. They have helped plant native seedlings with Restoring Takarunga Hauraki, and they check the rat traps across the Stanley Point peninsula. Membership and venue hire enquiries go to the club by email.
