About
Newtown Park is a multi-purpose stadium in Wellington, New Zealand, owned and managed by Wellington City Council. It is used for football (soccer) matches in winter, and track and field athletics in summer. Newtown Park is the main venue for track and field athletics in the Wellington region.
The city council grants priority to the Wellington United football club for weekend bookings during the winter season, and priority to Athletics Wellington for weekend bookings during the summer season, and for weekdays outside of school hours.
The main arena has a grass pitch (Newtown Park 1) surrounded by a 400-metre, all-weather athletics track, as well as a grandstand and a function room. A second, rectangular pitch (Newtown Park 2) is located to the south of the main arena.
