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 five tables, bats, balls and nets provided. To play we ask members to pay an annual subscription to cover hall hire and maintenance: $25 for an individual and $30 for a family.

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 Paul about becoming a member.

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. Low cost family membership allows you to take part in club days/nights, free entry in club tournaments, free beginner level coaching for 8 – 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.
