Baypark Stadium, Sports and entertainment complex in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand.
Baypark Stadium is a multipurpose stadium in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, with two main event spaces, a large foyer, and both covered and open-air areas. The grounds also contain a red clay speedway track, grandstands, and on-site parking spread across the wider complex.
Baypark Stadium opened in 2001 to give the Bay of Plenty region a large venue capable of hosting major events. Before it opened, the region had no single facility that could bring together sport, concerts, and motorsport under one roof.
Baypark Stadium is well known across the Bay of Plenty as a gathering place for sport and live events. Locals and visitors from across the region come here for concerts, motor racing, and community occasions throughout the year.
The grounds sit close to the main highways and Tauranga Airport, making them easy to reach by car from most parts of the region. On event days, arriving early is a good idea as crowds can be large and the site takes some time to navigate.
The red clay speedway track within the complex is regarded as one of the fastest racing surfaces in the country, which surprises many visitors who come only for concerts or team sports. The covered grandstands along the track offer a close view of the racing and feel quite separate from the rest of the venue.
