North Shore Croquet Club is a charitable croquet club on Wairoa Road in Devonport, beside the Waitemata Golf Club and next to the Plunket Rooms. Its origins go back to 1886, and in its current form it dates from 1905, which makes it one of the oldest croquet clubs in New Zealand. The women's section took up its present site in 1931. The club has four full-sized lawns, set among turn-of-the-century wooden villas. Croquet here can be casual or competitive, and the club plays both the rules-based game and the relaxed golf croquet, suiting players of all ages. Players are drawn to the club for the physical and mental exercise and the company, and a welcome sign is put out for visitors. The clubrooms are mostly used by members, but they are also available for hire, and function enquiries go through the hire form on the website. The club is a little white building on the bend of Wairoa Road, which is easy to spot from the road.
