Great to see Parakiore Recreation and Sport Centre receive Recognition of Excellence in both the Civic, Health and Arts and Tourism and Leisure categories at the 2026 Property Council New Zealand Property Industry Awards. š
In a strong field, that is a result the wider project team can feel really good about.
CID delivered Parakiore on behalf of the Crown, in partnership with Christchurch City Council, which now owns and operates the facility. It took a huge team effort to bring the project to life, and it is great to see that recognised.
What matters most, though, is what Parakiore is now doing for Christchurch and Canterbury. In its first six months, it welcomed more than 720,000 visits and has already hosted the Special Olympics New Zealand National Summer Games, Canterbury Rams and Tactix home games, National League Water Polo, National League Futsal and South Island Artistic Swimming.
Thanks and congratulations to Christchurch City Council , CPB Contractors , AECOM, Aurecon , Warren and Mahoney, Peddle Thorp, MJMA, Boffa Miskell, Powell Fenwick, and the many others who helped make it happen. Tactix photo credit -
