CLUB RECREATION / WAY2GO STOKE HUB
Saxton Stadium is a Way2Go Hub.
Way2Go is our Nelson Tasman Active Communities project, with the aim being to increase the physical activity levels of the community - with a focus on those who are aware they should be active but currently are not. This collaborative project which includes the DHB, PHO, SPARC, TRST, TDC and NCC helps to provide physical activity opportunities for the community with the aim of increasing participation levels for those less active.
Saxton Stadium’s Club Recreation programmes include ease into activity sessions, sit'n'be fit classes, gentle exercise classes and circuit, tumble tots and the Saxton seniors programmes are just some of those current initiatives being offered.
