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.

Team A is a Competitive team. Team B is a women's social team.
The league runs from April - October.  8 players from each team play every Wednesday night at different venues between Paekākāriki and Ōtaki.  

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 per season.

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.

New members are very welcome.
A low cost family membership allows you to take part in club days/nights with free entry in club tournaments, along with subsidised beginner level coaching for 6– 18year olds, access to professional coaching and interclub.

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.

We practice Combat Hapkido, a self-defence martial art. Come and learn the discipline, get fit and empower yourself.

We meet up for mutual help in the art of speaking in public. We focus on sharing and developing the art of telling stories from our lives, and on the tricky act of impromptu speaking.

Junior football training and games from age 4 up.

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.
Currently operating a limited service from homes, due to St Peter's Hall basement being closed. Please do not leave bikes there.
