Get Involved

Completing our new centre at Golf Road Reserve is vital to continuing our strong children and family centred legacy.

This relocation project commenced over 17 years ago and has received support from the many members of Mount Maunganui Playcentre (past and present) and businesses donating services and expertise to this project. By supporting our fundraising efforts, you too can help ensure our community can have the Playcentre experience for generations to come.

We can’t wait to open the doors to our new purpose-built home in time for our 50th birthday in 2024, and continue to deliver our free play-based, child-led learning with parents at the heart of their child’s development. Read on below to learn the ways you can help us cross our fundraising finish line!
