These days our facilities are second to none. Our club rooms at Lyndhurst Park are well known for excellent after match facilities and our floodlit ground has developed into one of the premium playing fields in the region.

WREMO has set up several Community Emergency Hubs within the area. These are places where you and your neighbours can go to help each other in a major emergency. Tawa has four Community Emergency Hubs: Redwood School, 71A Redwood Avenue Tawa School, 6A Oxford Street Linden School, 58 Ranui Terrace Greenacres Primary School, 60 - 62 Raroa Terrace Each Hub is run by people like you in your community without official assistance. Each Hub has a guide for how to coordinate the sharing of information, skills and resources that exist in your community. There is a small amount of equipment, including a VHF radio in case the phone and internet networks aren't working. The radio will allow communities to communicate with the Emergency Operations Centre run by your local council. There are no supplies, food, water or blankets stored at Hubs. Our communities are full of beds with blankets on them and pantries with food in them to get through the first week after an emergency. Your community can gather the things it needs at the time by working together. For further information about Community Emergency Hubs, check out WREMO's website .
