Exercising the top two inches, good sports have teamed up to give locals a head start. A recent partnership will grow sport locally, Chad Hooker from Bay Venues expects.
“We are so excited to work alongside the University of Waikato as Tauranga continues to develop. As our population grows, community connection has never been more important and our sports and fitness facilities play an important role.”
Through the partnership, the university scores naming rights to a six-court indoor sport facility at Mercury Baypark Arena with a new indoor sport and recreation centre also under development on Cameron Road. Students will be able to access the facilities, the university’s
Alister Jones confirms. “Our ongoing presence in this city supports our vision to contribute to growth and prosperity… partnering with great community facilities is just one way we are doing this,” he said.
“I’m excited at the possibilities this new partnership offers and I look forward to our students being able to enjoy the access to facilities and [being] involved in new campus events delivered alongside the Bay Venues team.”
The first new indoor community sport facility in Tauranga since Mercury Baypark Arena opened more than a decade ago, the Cameron Road venue will host a wide range of sports including: volleyball, badminton, basketball, pickleball, table tennis, sports for disabled people, netball and so much more.
