The club's home ground is located at Karori Park, we also use Ben Burn and Galloway Parks. The clubrooms, also based at Karori Park, provide a pleasant view of the ground, with a pleasant social environment and are also used for functions.
Our home ground has recently undergone a major redevelopment, providing one level playing area, providing top quality wicket blocks away from the soccer grounds, new outdoor training nets and a ground that will be able to host major sporting events.
Our clubrooms have been upgraded to allow for a more user friendly facility along with an score box, electronic score board and internal monitor in the clubrooms.
The club welcomes a broad mix of players, from representative level through to social. Karori offers playing and coaching opportunities for all levels of skill and commitment
