A study into the feasibility of running Metro Park East in Millwater as a facility to be shared by many sporting codes was completed in October.
The report, which was commissioned by the Metro Park working group, is expected to go to the Hibiscus & Bays Local Board once interested sports clubs have provided feedback.
Outgoing Metro Park working group chair, Merv Huxford, says the focus of the study is the design of one or more buildings on the park.
The working group has also formed a trust, MetroPark Community Sports Charitable Trust, as the preferred entity to coordinate the fundraising that will be required.
The trustees are the local sports codes of hockey, athletics, cricket and football. Mr Huxford says there is provision for six more codes to be added.
Meanwhile, work is progressing on Hockey Hibiscus Trust’s turf at the park. This is expected to have its first trial use this summer. The Trust looking to form a ‘users group team’ and any interested parties should visit hockeyhibiscustrust.org.nz
