Thanks to everyone that came along to our opening celebration weekend - what a way to breathe life into our fantastic new recreation hub!
We had some great weather and several hundred people stopped by for a look and a play.
We took a few pictures and will share any more as we get them. Feel free to post yours in the comments below.
See you all again soon 👍

Day 2 of our opening celebration weekend - and today is all about introducing you to the world of golf!
Our friends at the Waahi Taakaro Golf Club are hosting the events which include free golf lessons from 11am to 2pm (great if you don't know one end of a golf bat from the other), cheaper green fees for everyone who wants to play a round of golf, and a draw for a free six-month club membership.
Golf is a hugely popular sport in Nelson and this is a great chance for people of all ages to come on down to the Recreation Hub and see if it's for you. Absolute beginners and kids/families very welcome.
