MainPower Oval

This reserve was originally known as the Recreation Ground, and was used by the Rangiora Cricket Club from 1869 until the 1930s. Representative cricket is now played on this ground, and the Rangiora Miniature Rifle Club meets in the pavilion for small-bore shooting.

In 2005 MainPower signed on to become the sponsor of the Canterbury Country Cricket Association, an agreement that included the renaming of Recreation Ground to MainPower Oval.
