About Ambury Park Centre

Riding therapy, secondary education and vocational training centre Ambury Park Centre works with a herd of horses to assist children, adolescents and adults living with physical, emotional, psychological and intellectual disabilities. Set on park grounds, the registered charity operates a school for students aged 13 and over alongside a full-time vocational programme for adults 18 and older, combining physiological and psychological therapies with social development and practical work training. Facilities include an 80m by 45m outdoor arena, a 40m by 35m indoor arena, and function rooms, all available to hire for community activities.

Located in Māngere Bridge, the centre is supported by a team of equine therapists, riding instructors, physiotherapists, teachers and volunteers. Enquiries about programmes, course enrolments and volunteer opportunities can be directed to the front office during school hours. Both the grounds and facilities can be hired directly, with the venue offering purpose-built equestrian spaces alongside community-focused therapy work.
