Attn Members 🚨 the park will be busier than usual this weekend with NZRL tournament action happening. 🏉

We also have a local swim club meet over Saturday and Sunday, so lane availability may be limited. 🏊

The usual Saturday inflatable sessions have been cancelled for this week.

🏉 A historic weekend of rugby league is coming to Hawke’s Bay!

This Saturday and Sunday, Mitre 10 Park will host a huge weekend of NZRL senior representative rugby league, bringing some of the country’s best men’s and women’s teams to Hawke’s Bay.

Across the weekend we’ll host the NZRL Men’s Premiership North Island qualifiers, Sky Sport National Women’s Premiership, and the Men’s and Women’s National Championships – with Hawke’s Bay represented in both Championship competitions.

Games will be played across five fields, with the action building to the Men’s and Women’s Championship Grand Finals on Sunday afternoon, inside the Grandstand oval. 🏆

It’s fantastic to see national-level rugby league being played right here in Hawke’s Bay – so come on down, get behind our local teams and be part of a massive weekend at the Park!

📅 Saturday 12 & Sunday 13 September
📍 Mitre 10 Park
🏉 Games across Fields 1–5

All the best to our contingent of athletes from Canoe Polo Hawke's Bay heading over to Germany to compete in the 2026 ICF Canoe Polo World Championships this week.

Special mention to our own staff in Millie Hannam & Oliver Arcus, former staff Grace Henricksen and former colleague across the road at Mitre 10 Park Hawke's Bay Casey Hales.

Plenty of Hawke's Bay colour on the sideline too, including our man Jed Graham, who continues to give back to the sport that saw him represent NZ over a 9 year span!

These teams have also had Strength & Conditioning sessions in our Athlete Performance Centre over the last couple of months, so we'll be cheering you on from here and wishing you all the very best!!
Hawke's Bay Community Fitness Centre

Both squads depart NZ in late August, and once again Hawke’s Bay is strongly represented.
