Living in Frimley
Frimley is a northern Hastings suburb around 3 km from central Hastings, on the flat between Hastings central and Camberley. It's a settled mid-century residential suburb of mostly brick-and-tile housing on standard sections, with around 4,000 residents.
The standout local feature is Frimley Park: a 17-hectare public park that has become one of the country's most famous outdoor concert venues. The Mission Concert season at Frimley Park (run alongside the Mission Estate Concert) regularly hosts major international touring acts including Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, Carlos Santana and Sting, drawing crowds of up to 25,000. Outside of concert season, the park has the standard suburban mix of playing fields, walking paths, the Frimley Pool and a children's playground.
The Frimley shops on Omahu Road have the local mix: a small Pak'nSave Frimley, takeaways, the local pharmacy and a row of suburban services.
Frimley School (state co-ed primary) handles the local primary. Older students typically attend Hastings Boys' High or Hastings Girls' High. Most homes are 1950s and 1960s on flat streets, with mature gardens and the long-term resident base that goes with them. Quiet most of the year, intermittently global when the concerts roll in.
