Park Island, Napier, Sports stadium in Napier, New Zealand

Park Island is a 68-hectare (168-acre) sports complex in Napier featuring multiple fields and facilities, including Bluewater Stadium with capacity for 5,000 spectators. The grounds contain dedicated areas for football, cricket, hockey, netball, rugby, and archery on well-maintained grass surfaces.

Park Island's grounds lie on land reclaimed from the mudflats and tidal inlets of Ahuriri Lagoon after the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake. Bluewater Stadium opened there in 1985 and became the home ground of Napier City Rovers and Hawke's Bay United. In 2016 and 2017 surrounding areas were rezoned for a new high-performance rugby facility.

The complex serves as home to Napier City Rovers and Hawke's Bay United football teams, hosting matches that draw supporters from across the region. These clubs are central to the local sporting identity and community gatherings.

Bluewater Stadium sits within the Park Island complex, which is the largest sports ground in Napier and hosts football, cricket, hockey, netball and rugby. The stadium opened in 1985 and holds 5,000 spectators, so match days bring crowds and limited parking around the grounds. Check with the venue before travelling whether a fixture or training session restricts access to the fields.

Two early 1900s cemeteries, Western Hills and Park Island, sit adjacent to the modern sports grounds. These burial sites recall the area's early settlement history.
