There are many green parks, reserves and excellent clubs in and around the city where you and your children can get out and take part in a wide range of sporting activites.

Rugby and rugby league, cricket, tennis, squash, badminton, basketball, netball, soccer, sailing, horse racing and hockey are just some of the Auckland activities that can be enjoyed at various venues in and around the city.

Known as the 'City of Sails', it should be no surprise that water sports are the most popular sports in Auckland. There are more boats per capita in Auckland than anywhere else in the world !

Auckland is also a great city for golf enthusiasts. There are more than 40 public and private golf courses to challenge you, many with absolutely fantastic views.

Another great way to see the stunning scenery New Zealand has to offer is to join one of the excellent flying and gliding clubs around the area.

Or, if you prefer something a little closer to the ground check out the Tramping (Hiking) clubs. A really good, inexpensive way to keep fit and meet some new friends.
