Park Overview
Bruce Pulman Park is a unique sport and recreational facility featuring world-class
sports outdoor and indoor spaces in 64 hectares of park. We are dedicated to the sustainable delivery of sport & recreation for our local community and beyond.

Pulman Recreation Centre sits within the Park and is led by the Centre Manager as part of the overall Management Team.  As the home of Counties Manukau Gymnastics, the Park and club work closely together to run both recreational programmes for the local community and
competitive training for the more serious Gymnast.

We are now on the look-out for a number of coaches who can complement our existing
team. We run Pre School Classes, School Delivery Classes, Afterschool & Weekend
Programs. In addition, we also have specialist classes for Artistic Gymnastics (MAG & WAG),
Rhythmic, Trampoline, and Tumbling.

teachers about the pupil’s progress, and those with the ability to work with a diverse
spectrum of pupils and coaches.
