Location
St Johns
adidas Sports Medicine is situated in the heart of the Colin Maiden Park,

The sports park consists of 43 acres and some of New Zealand’s premier rugby,
soccer, and Aussie Rules football fields. Also located in the park are the
University of Auckland’s Rugby and Cricket clubs.
As you enter the sports park at Gate 5 from Merton Road, there are two
main buildings on your left. The first is the Unisports Training Centre and

adidas Sports Medicine clinic is on the left hand side of the building and then you need
