In 2010 in order to maintain access to sporting facilities in the Hinuera settlement, Council purchased the land containing the No 1 rugby field and carpark and vested it as a Recreation Reserve.  The Hinuera Rugby & Sports Club Incorporated lease this land for the purposes of sports fields and club activities.

The grounds are also used from time to time for non rugby uses such as dog clubs and caravan clubs during weekends in the summer.  The rugby grounds are located immediately adjacent to the Hinuera primary School, Hinuera Tennis Club and the Hinuera bowling Club creating a precinct of sporting facilities.
