Kawaroa Park Squash Club

This weekend we are lucky to have one of our newest club members running the kitchen - Chantel Webber! If you've seen her son Ashton around the club, you'll know he's one of our youngest up and comers - all funds raised will go towards helping him get to North Island Junior Age Groups over in the Hawkes Bay, and Junior Nationals in Auckland later this year.

I've got my eyes on an all day big breakfast, how about you?

You might have noticed a few new beverages in the Hand Inn, and that's thanks to our new partnership with Shining Peak Brewing!

Proudly born, raised and brewed in Taranaki - their name reflects its Māori origins: “tara” meaning mountain peak, and “naki” from “ngaki,” meaning shining.

Their award-winning craft beers celebrate Taranaki history, telling the unique, and often unheard, stories of our region and the good people who make it so legendary.

Steve and Athol made it their mission to sample every single new beer in the collection, and Skunk Juice Hazy IPA sang to them the loudest - what's your favourite?

So grateful for the work that has been put into Destination Kāwaroa 🔥

We’re proud to share Destination Kāwaroa won the Beca Award for Excellence in Placemaking at last night’s LGFA Taituarā Local Government Excellence Awards! 🎉

Delivered in partnership with Ngāti Te Whiti, Taranaki Foundation and New Plymouth Partners, this vibrant foreshore space celebrates Taranaki’s identity - recognised by judges as a standout example of placemaking this year.
