About Us
Our Story
Located in Richmond, Club Waimea Squash provides four glass back courts which allows easy watching access. We offer climate controlled indoor facilities, which include the four courts, and upstairs viewing platform of the courts, both Mens and Womens toilets and showers, a kitchen and lounge facility which includes a bar.
"The Squash Club was the brainchild of a group of club waimea members and committee in the late 1970s. Plans were drawn up and Berkett Construction were contracted to start construction (along with a lot of volunteer labour over the course of the project). The walls were built in cradles and cured for 28 days. They were checked every day hence the reason why we have great courts nearly 40 years on. Officially opened of the 10th of March 1981, it was handed over to the squash club to run independently. After a few years the squash club became a section of Club Waimea and since then the rest has been history." -Barry Highet Life Member of Club Waimea Squash
