Pinehaven
Pinehaven is a suburb of Upper Hutt City in the lower North Island of New Zealand, established in 1927. It is at the southern end of the city, tucked into the pine covered hills east of Silverstream. Pinehaven is a tranquil valley centred on a large reserve and beautiful piece of native bush. Clustered around the reserve are a number of community facilities:
- Pinehaven School, opened in 1954
- Pinehaven Tennis Club
- Pinehaven Playcentre, opened in the 1970s
- Pinehaven Library, which started in 1954 with a small collection of books kept in a resident's home.
- Pinehaven Scout Hall built in 1972
- Pinehaven Progressive Association Community Hall, built with recycled materials by Pinehaven locals during the 1940s. The land was generously gifted to the community in perpetuity by Mr Goodwin.
