Renovation of fields

Fields are renovated twice a year in Autumn (March/April) and Spring (September/October). The spring renovation is usually our major annual programme and fields are normally closed from about mid September until Labour Weekend.

You can help us return our fields to good playing standard each year by keeping off them during renovation time. Signs are posted on fields being renovated. We normally have alternative venues available as back up during this period and you can contact us to find out where they are and to make a booking.

Cox's Bay - Field number one closure

The number one playing field at Cox's Bay Reserve will be closed from January to November 2009 for maintenance of the sand carpet drainage system. Once complete it will provide an improved playing surface, especially for winter sport.

Council is currently working with the sports clubs who use the number one sports field to look at making use of alternative fields such as Auckland Domain, Grey Lynn Park, Victoria Park, and Western Springs during this much-needed maintenance programme.

A small area of the car park at Cox's Bay Reserve will be closed between January to April.
