The former site of The Warehouse on Cameron Road was purchased by Tauranga City Council in early 2024 and has been converted into a multi-purpose sport and recreation centre featuring indoor sports courts and plenty of parking.
The new venue, named Haumaru, will be managed by Bay Venues on behalf of the Council. It will be called The University of Waikato Haumaru Sport & Recreation Centre.
Haumaru will be home to a wide range of community sports, including basketball, volleyball, pickleball, badminton, netball, and more.
The final finishing touches are being made before the venue opens this weekend. The public will get a chance to check out Tauranga City Council’s newest facility at a Community Fun Day event on Saturday May 10, from 10am-2pm.
