Community Hubs That Bring Us Together
At the heart of our neighbourhood are places where people connect and collaborate. The Gribblehirst Community Hub is a buzzing shared space, while venues like the Rocky Nook Bowls Club, and the Auckland Irish Society host events, workshops, and activities that bring our community together. Our three local churches – Trinity Methodist Church Hall, Edge Kingsland, and Morningside Church of Christ – are pillars of support and connection, offering spaces where people can come together for worship, reflection, and community events.
At the heart of any vibrant community, you’ll find a school. The Fringe District has several primary, intermediate and secondary schools, with multi-cultural units and immersive classroom environments.
You’ll find some awesome green spaces here too, to enjoy with friends and family, or for some quiet solitude in the middle of the city. These include Nixon Park, School Reserve, Alsco Pocket Park, and Morningside Reserve.
Interested in sustainability? There’s a local eco group, Kingsland Eco Neighbours.
Our local businesses are supported by The Kingsland Business Society Incorporated. You can contact our manager here; team@thefringedistrict.co.nz or call us +649 217 3561
The Kingsland Business Society is a BID; Business Improvement District, which is is part of the Auckland Council’s BID program, a partnership with Auckland Council, and the Local Albert-Eden Board who work cohesively together to create better communities, local economies, and town centres.
