About Action Sports & Leisure Hornby

An indoor sports centre at 81 Buchanans Road in Hornby, Christchurch, established in 2001. The website describes three courts for indoor cricket, football and netball, and a full-size sprung wooden court for basketball and volleyball. There is spectator seating, change rooms, a fully licensed bar and a barbecue area. The website says there is ample off-street parking. The centre runs grade competitions for men's, ladies', mixed, youth and junior teams, and one-off bookings including sports birthday parties, company bookings, casual court hire and group bookings. New seasons start regularly through the year.

Reviewers mention indoor netball and cricket most often, and clean facilities. One group of 13 children and some parents had a birthday party and found it totally fabulous, with staff who were never too much trouble. A weekly indoor netball player says the games are well organised, the referees are good and games start on time, though the centre is a bit pricey. Another enjoyed an inflatable set-up there, with lots of room and nice toilets, but found parking limited.
