Te Puru Community Centre is on the Pohutukawa Coast at 954 Whitford–Maraetai Road in Beachlands. The website says it hosts independent sports and social activities, from yoga to mahjong, and is home to clubs including gymnastics, rugby and basketball, as well as some local businesses. Recreational gymnastics follows the Gymnastics New Zealand Springboard Programme. The programme runs from Monday 12 October to Thursday 10 December 2026, for nine sessions, and registrations are open with spaces limited. The gymnastics group takes part in the Santa Parade on Saturday 5 December, and holds its prize giving on Sunday 13 December. Gymnasts wear tight-fitting activewear, tie back their hair, remove jewellery and work barefoot.
Reviewers say the courts are modern and well lit, with four courts that can be set up for basketball, badminton or pickleball. One mentions free badminton sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Another attended a tiny house conference, and says the hall was spacious, the toilets modern and the acoustics good, and that the upstairs reception overlooks the sports fields. Side rooms suit catering or small meetings. One reviewer describes racism and rude, dismissive staff, and says they will not return.
