The Stadium

longitudinal view.jpgThe major feature of the stadium is a 400m synthetic athletic track built in 1995,   which has been described as one of the best tracks in New Zealand. It is the   home of Athletics Wanganui and has hosted international meetings, NZ   Secondary Schools’ Championships, NZ Masters Games events, and was the venue for the first professional athletics meeting in NZ in February 2008. The   track has also hosted overseas teams for training. 

 

The stadium also features a rugby field which is used for Wanganui Rugby’s   home   games in the New Zealand Heartland competition, as well as 2nd XV, age   group and secondary school matches.

The layout of the venue and the facilities it offers provide an ideal venue for a very wide range of sporting, musical and community events.
