Draft Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau - Auckland Open Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy


About the draft strategy

Open spaces and sport and recreation help make Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland a healthy city.

They support:

  • oranga tāngata (health of people)
  • oranga whānau (health of families)
  • oranga whenua (health of land)
  • oranga wai (health of water).

Auckland Council, together with other groups and organisations, provides open spaces and sports and recreation opportunities for Aucklanders.

The draft Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau: Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy helps us address Auckland’s current challenges and opportunities.

It makes sure all Aucklanders can benefit from open spaces and sport and recreation opportunities, now and in the future.
