Petanque

Our club was established in 1994 and is now located at the Park Bowling Club, Queen Elizabeth II Park. Memorial Drive, Masterton, New Zealand (click on Map icon above). We are next-door to Cafe Cecille.

Playing times are Sunday 2:00pm, Wednesday 6:00pm. Visitors are most welcome. We have petanque boules for you to use, so there is no need to bring your own. Once you are ready to buy your own set we can help you make the right selection. Membership is only $50.00 per year.

How to get to our Terrain: Go along Dixon Street, and when you get to the swimming complex (Genesis Energy Recreation Centre) turn right into Memorial Drive. Follow the lake around all the way to the Bowling Club car park. You can't miss us from here. We look forward to seeing you. PS. watch out for the ducks as you drive around the lake.

Our club receives sponsorship from Wairarapa Building Society, Tulloch Farm Machines.

During tournaments, players from outside of Wairarapa enjoy staying at No.3 Willowpark Drive, as the proprietors are keen Petanque players and members of our club.

"There can be few travelers to France who have not encountered the game of Boules or Pétanque. It is played everywhere, on village streets, country lanes alongside busy motorways, backyards or public squares.
Over the last thirteen years the game has spread throughout New Zealand. In the Wellington region there are over 400 players." ¹
