Our Story

Burnside Squash Club is an integral part of Burnside Park’s long sporting tradition in Christchurch. The club emerged during a period when Burnside Park—originally developed from farmland and steeped in local sporting history—became a hub for many sports. It shares this heritage with nearby clubs in rugby, tennis, bowls, and more.

In its early days, the club quickly built a reputation for competitive play, hosting events like the Burnside C grade tournament and nurturing junior talent that went on to compete at regional and national levels. Over the decades, it has been a proving ground for promising players and a centre for community-driven squash.
