Kelburn Croquet Club is one of Wellington's historic croquet clubs, established in 1913. It sits at the south end of Kelburn Park, on Salamanca Road, about a 10-minute walk from the Wellington CBD. The club has five full-size croquet lawns and one practice lawn. The car park entrance is on Salamanca Road, through the gate between the club lawns and the tennis courts. The clubhouse and the lawns can be hired for corporate or other events.
New members are always welcome. In summer the club runs free "Have a Go" days, where newcomers get an introduction to the game. Flat shoes are all that is needed on the lawns, because the club provides the equipment and the coaching. Club days and tournaments are on the club's calendar. Members can also buy their own mallet through the club's group orders. A mallet maker offers members 10% off and free shipping on a group order, and another offers a discount and a free mallet for the club on a group order of five or more. For someone in Kelburn or the city who wants to learn a traditional lawn game, the club is a clear place to start.
