Set within the Hagley Oval Precinct, this purpose-built indoor sports centre offers year-round indoor cricket training and function facilities right beside Christchurch's premier cricket ground. Named in honour of New Zealand cricket legend Sir Richard Hadlee, it serves both grassroots community cricket and high-performance athletes who need dedicated training space regardless of the Canterbury weather. Along with training facilities, the centre operates as a hire venue for private events, corporate gatherings, and community functions, supported by the Canterbury Cricket Trust alongside the neighbouring Hadlee Pavilion.
You will find the centre at 57 Riccarton Avenue in Christchurch Central City, bordering the green expanse of Hagley Park. The surrounding park setting gives it an open, relaxed feel while remaining close to the CBD, making it easily accessible for local players, visiting teams, and event guests. Our pick in the central city for dedicated cricket training and sports gatherings under cover.
