The Recreation centre plan has been developed to guide the council's involvement in providing, developing and managing council owned and partnered recreation centres within Auckland city for the next 20 years.

Recreation centres are indoor sport and physical activity facilities which traditionally consist of a stadium or sports hall catering for basketball, netball and volleyball. Recreation centres could also provide supporting facilities to complement stadium activities such as a fitness centre, squash courts, childcare, youth centre, dance studio, multi-use rooms, a sauna and/or café.

The Recreation centre plan was developed through research, analysis and consultation with the community, regional sports organisations and facility operators.
