Park Island, Napier, Sports stadium in Napier, New Zealand
Park Island features multiple fields and facilities spanning 68 hectares, including Bluewater Stadium with a capacity of 5,000 spectators for football matches.
The land transformed from mudflats and tidal inlets of Ahuriri Lagoon following the 1931 earthquake, leading to its development as a sports complex in 1985.
The stadium serves as the home ground for Napier City Rovers and Hawke's Bay United teams, hosting numerous regional football tournaments throughout the year.
The multi-purpose sports facility contains dedicated areas for football, cricket, hockey, netball, rugby union, and archery, with maintained grass surfaces for year-round play.
Two historical cemeteries, Western Hills and Park Island, established in the early 1900s, border the current sports complex grounds.
