A community sports and recreation centre on Palmers Road in Clendon Park, Auckland, joined to the Te Matariki Clendon Library. The centre is temporarily closed from 18 July 2026 until Winter 2027 for essential building maintenance and upgrades, and its programmes and services are being moved to Manurewa Leisure Centre for the closure. Before the closure, the centre ran a large stadium, social sports and gymnastics, a basketball skills programme and a social basketball scrimmage night for people aged 16 and over, and guitar and drum lessons. A youth drop-in programme ran during school terms, and the centre ran school holiday programmes for children aged 5 to 13.
Before and after school care, which includes school drop-off and pick-up from selected local schools, was $112.40 a week as at 2026. The out-of-school care programme for 5 to 13 year olds had its own enrolment form. The library next door is also closed for the same works, and the site says to contact the library directly for information on its services during the closure.
