Newtown Park is a multi-purpose stadium in Wellington, New Zealand, owned and managed by Wellington City Council.[1] It is used for football (soccer) matches in winter, and track and field athletics in summer. Newtown Park is the primary athletics stadium for 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.[2][3]
The main arena has a 400-metre, all-weather rubberized athletics track around it, as well as spectator stands and a function room. A second, rectangular pitch (Newtown Park 2) is located to the south of the main arena.
