Summerhill Community Hub

We’re excited to announce the start of construction for the new community centre. The Summerhill Community Hub will serve as the central gathering space for education and recreation in the Pāpāmoa Hills, complementing our beloved 60-year-old woolshed. Set for completion in early 2025, we can’t wait to bring this incredible space to life and share it with the community. Stay tuned for more updates and if you are interested in using the space, feel free to contact us.

Forest Shelter

Discover the Forest Shelter, a remarkable pavilion crafted by a student of Auckland School of Architecture from timber grown at Summerhill. Nestled within the serene Summerhill forest, this structure invites people of all ages to immerse themselves in the diverse wonders of our native and exotic woodlands.
