Cowles Stadium, at 170 Pages Road in Aranui, Christchurch, is a purpose-built indoor stadium. The website says it has courts for hire, Tumbletimes classes, after-school programmes and other recreational activities. Lanes, courts and meeting rooms can be hired, and birthday party packages are offered. Community sessions are held here too. Customers say it is easy to find, clean and has plenty of off-street parking. One said it is the best set-up for Tumbletimes in Christchurch, and that the staff are friendly and helpful.
Customers mention the Canterbury Rams and the Mainland Pouakai, and a model train show held here. One warned that the stadium is cold in winter, and that it is too cold to be barefoot, which makes some toddler activities a bit risky. Our pick in Aranui for a toddler Tumbletimes class with plenty of parking.
