njoy sports? So do we in the Howick Ward. There is a rich variety of affordable sporting options for residents of all ages and abilities. Whether seeking competitive or social sports and recreation opportunities, there is no shortage of diverse options for young and old. Catering for mainstream and unusual sports alike, Howick Ward offers world-class sporting venues in various codes, ranging from the international standard hockey turf in Pakuranga to Whitford Park Golf Club just a 10-minute drive from Howick and Rydges Formosa Golf Resort a little further down the road. A number of bowling clubs are dotted around the region, as are tennis courts for both competitive and public use. Cycling is a popular sport too. Pakuranga boasts one of the largest rugby clubs in the country, and Lloyd Elsmore Park, where the club is based, also hosts a range of other sports including hockey, touch, badminton, netball, boxing, bowls, athletics, harriers, cricket, BMX, swimming and skateboarding. Martial arts are well catered for across the wider

suburban districts, and there are also softball, baseball, croquet, squash, rugby league and football clubs in the area, not to mention ten pin bowling, an active darts club, pony clubs and fishing clubs. Ice skating and polo can also be enjoyed in the area. When it comes to water sports outside of the pool, wind-surfing and sailing are both big in the region. Golfers can also count themselves spoiled for choice. There are no less than four 18-hole golf courses and a driving range in the region plus plenty more on the outer fringes.
