Arthur Faulkner Reserve

Court Details

About this court

Pickleball in Mt. Roskill, New Zealand, found an early home at Arthur Faulkner Reserve on Foch Ave., where the sport began informally with chalked-off courts and two portable nets set up by local enthusiasts. This public, free-to-play asphalt site is open 24 hours a day, every day, making it accessible for players on nearly any schedule. The community's roadmap includes transitioning to temporary painted lines and ultimately four dedicated courts integrated into resurfaced multipurpose asphalt tennis courts beside the playground — progress contingent on Auckland Council support. Holding a 4.3 rating across 49 Google reviews, the reserve is tagged kid-friendly and multi-sport, reflecting its broader role in the neighborhood. Visitors mention a peaceful, spacious park atmosphere with a sizable grassy area, established trees, and a playground that draws families, reinforcing the welcoming environment for newer players. Those keen on regular organized play should consult pickleball-nz.seattlevet.net for up-to-date weather information relevant to the Saturday noontime sessions that have become a local fixture at this developing New Zealand pickleball destination.

Notes

Early 2018: we chalk off courts & have two nets we set up. Later 2018: hoping to have 2 courts with temporary painted lines. By year’s end: hoping AUCKLAND council will incorporate 4 courts on multipurpose resurfaced asphalt tennis courts next to playground.. See pickleball-nz.seattlevet.net for up-to-date weather report regarding regular Saturday noontime play.
