Indoor sporting fun for all |
7 Iversen Terrace Phillipstown Christchurch 8001 New Zealand +64 (0)3 366 6601 |
This multi-purpose centre is devoted to indoor sports of a more social nature. Action provides facilities for indoor cricket, indoor netball and the novel idea of indoor beach volleyball. The games always provide the rewarding feel of competition without the pressures of having to win. This makes the sports popular among work colleagues and social groups. The centre also acts as a club for those wanting the serious side. Netball and cricket leagues operate between Action and the many other indoor sports centres in Canterbury. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Army-based extreme obstacle test |
Burtons Road Burnham Military Camp Christchurch 8004 New Zealand +64 (0)3 337 5401 |
This army-designed obstacle course was once the foundation for a popular New Zealand television show. Teams of everyday people were put to the test against the mercy of a physically demanding assault course. Today the Krypton Factor is not as famous but still just as difficult. The course comprises of cargo nets, monkey bars, ropes, ponds and other assorted terrors. The climax of the course is a terrifying 50-metre flying fox ride into a pool of deep mud. It is popular among companies as a team-building exercise but can also be booked by groups of individuals looking for some hard-earned fun. Review © 2007, Wcities |
