The proposed Sportsville Dargaville facility at Memorial Park will now become a reality after another piece of the funding puzzle was secured.
National gaming trust Pub Charity has donated $178,000 towards the project, which will benifit all sporting codes currently and potentially using Memorial Park.
Kauri Coast Recreational Society Chairman Chris Biddles said the board was delighted to receive the funding.
"This is a hugely generous grant from Pub Charity, and the board wants to thank the Northern Wairoa Hotel for the part they have played in being the host venue for Pub Charity gaming machines in Dargaville - without them this donation just would not have been possible," he said.
Pub Charity were lavish in their praise of the board and their project.
