Netball Rodney celebrated the opening of its new courts at Centennial Park in Wellsford with a series of netball games last month.
The redevelopment programme, led by the Rodney Local Board, was a $2 million project to rebuild the six upper courts with new surfaces, drainage, fencing, lighting and clear markings, as well as wheelchair access and new pathways.
The area has improved accessibility and viewing areas, as well as providing safer separation between courts.
The work took around nine months.
The new facilities also cater for tennis, and include a basketball half court for casual use. The surface is designed specifically for sport use, so bicycles, scooters and skateboards are not permitted within the area.
The new courts replace the lower netball courts, which were deemed unsafe.
