Members of the Wellington Hang Gliding & Paragliding Club have been flying the coastal escarpment above Paekākāriki since 1973.  When there is a gentle wind between 15 and 25 km/hr coming from between the west and north you can often see us flying above the Paekakariki Hill Road.

Social, fun and beginners welcomed! We are still finalising our meeting days for 2019, so get in touch or pop into the Bowler to know more.

Paekākāriki Scout Group is a thriving community group catering for children and young people aged from 6-14 years.

No previous experience is needed and families are welcome. The club is run collectively with 5 tables. We ask members to pay an annual sub to cover hall hire: $40 for an individual and $50 for a family. $5 casual game.

Spectators are welcome at any time at the club when members are flying. There is a good vantage point on the slope running up behind the club house. If you have children with you, please make sure they do not wander off. Strictly no dogs.
Contact Ian McMillan.

The Paekākāriki Surf Lifeguards patrol Paekākāriki Beach from November through March. We have a large active membership of junior surf (7-13 years) and senior members (14 years+) & offer competitive training squads for surf sports.

The Paekākāriki Football Club is a big part of the community and is the only sporting club representing the village. The club has two senior teams with a mixture of different skilled players and a junior football league.

Friendly atmosphere for you and the family to enjoy! We show the odd rugby match and run a fully stocked bar. Our club rooms are also available for hire.

We recycle bikes and lend them out for a small annual fee. Our focus is sustainable transport. We have bikes of all sizes available.
