About Pulman Arena

An indoor multi-sport arena at 90 Walters Road in Takanini, within Bruce Pulman Park. It is designed as a six-court facility, with international courts and futsal courts, and has dropdown curtains to divide the courts. It is used for netball, basketball, volleyball, Turbo Touch and futsal, along with other community activities.

Counties Manukau residents can use the arena on a pay-as-you-play basis, and the arena is open to the community each week. It is home to Papakura Netball Centre's competitions, and the Northern Stars netball team trains and is based there. National training camps and major events have been held there, including basketball camps and Paralympic open days.

The arena has a 350-person conference room, daylight from roof panels, and lighting and sound systems. The park is leased by a trust from the Papakura District Council, and the trust says the facilities are open to people of all ages, genders, abilities and backgrounds.
