We have had an extremely busy few weeks at the Sunnynook Community Centre with school holiday programmes at capacity and office staff getting our hire agreements ready for 2027. We are pleased to note that most of the groups using the centre this year will continue next year, meaning you all have the opportunity to come into the centre and attend some wonderful classes.

Kennedy Park Observation Post is now open after car park renovations that took a bit longer than anticipated. This is a great location for a child’s birthday party / baby shower / workshop / yoga class etc. If you are interested in hiring the Observation Post, please contact snook.com.cen@xtra.co.nz for more information.

We are so thrilled that the Sunnynook Parkrun is up and running on Saturday mornings and it is great to see the local community supporting this wonderful event. It is a free, weekly, timed 5km event every Saturday morning at 8am in Sunnynook Park. Everyone is welcome to walk, run or volunteer. Check out the Facebook page @sunnynookparkrun.

We held a seniors' afternoon tea at the end of October which was a great opportunity for our local seniors to come together and have a catch-up. Thanks to everyone who attended and thanks also to the wonderful volunteers who helped out on the day; it was another successful community event. Please check out our website for up-to-date information about our classes and events. If you would like to go on the online mailing list to receive our community newsletters, please email snook.com.cen@xtra.co.nz.
