The track
Baypark Stadium, branded Mercury Baypark, is the events precinct at 81 Truman Lane, Mount Maunganui, where State Highways 2 and 29A meet on the Tauranga side of the Mount. Bay Venues, a Tauranga City Council organisation, runs it.
The outdoor stadium is a speedway: a clay oval with a concrete drift track laid underneath it, which is how D1NZ runs drifting inside the stadium. Speedway Racing Ltd runs the speedway season, and the council approved speedway at Baypark through to 2039. Next door, Mercury Arena is the indoor side of the precinct, with the Lion Foundation Centre, the UoW Sport and Recreation Centre and the Arena Suites used for shows, sport and expos.
