Te Matariki Clendon Community Centre and Library

Te Matariki Clendon is the council-run community centre and library at 17 Palmers Road, opened in 2006. The name was chosen with input from Pukaki Marae and reflects Matariki as a time of renewal. The community centre has a stadium with a basketball court, rooms for hire, a youth zone, OSCAR before- and after-school care and school holiday programmes.

The whole facility is currently closed for building work. The community centre closed in July 2026 until winter 2027, and its programmes have moved to Manurewa Leisure Centre in the meantime. Waimāhia (Clendon) Library closed on 19 July 2026 for 9 to 12 months. The nearest open libraries are Manurewa, Manukau and Takaanini.
