The Trust also supports sport and active recreation in the community by way of land owned for greenspace. Greytown Lands Trust Park located at 123 East Street is leased to the South Wairarapa District Council at a peppercorn rental for use by the Greytown Rugby Club and the wider community.
The Greytown Bowling Club at 55-59 East Street also benefits from a peppercorn rental per annum.

Trustees agreed to continue to underwrite the Executive Officer salary following a recent survey of the Greytown Sport and Leisure Society clubs. The survey indicated there was tremendous support for and reliance on the assistance and services provided by the role of the Society’s Executive Officer. The intent is to secure funding from other sources in the future which would free up funding to be made available for other community activities.
The Trust has supported the Society with funding on an annual basis since 2000.
Funding support from the Trust this financial year was $33,750.
