Make the most of it
Your day at the track
Grandstands and viewing spots
One continuous seating bowl round the field rather than separate stands, so every seat looks in on the same arena. Seats are allocated per event.
Facilities
Food and drink outlets round the public concourse, which ones open depending on the event, plus filtered water fountains through the bowl. A first aid booth, unisex baby change rooms and limited pram storage at the entrance. There's no bag storage, and one soft sided bag per person no bigger than 42 by 30 by 30 cm. The stadium is smoke and vape free except in designated areas.

Getting there
A 10 minute walk from central Wellington. The easiest way in is the Fran Wilde Walkway, a 650 metre raised walkway with harbour views that starts at the railway station, including straight off platforms 3 to 8, so trains and the bus terminal beside the station drop you a short walk away. Ferries: from the inter island ferry terminals, either take the shuttle to the station or walk north along Waterloo Quay. The airport is about 10 km away by taxi, shuttle or the airport express bus. The stadium car park sits under the walkway, entered off Waterloo Quay at the lights opposite CentrePort. It's limited, card only at the gate on event days, has about 2.2 metres of height clearance, and doesn't take campervans. Free bike stands are in the car park and at the top of the vehicle ramp.
Parking
Paid
Public transport
Wellington Railway Station and bus terminal, then the Fran Wilde Walkway, 5 to 10 minutes.
Nearest airport
Wellington Airport, about 10 km away.
Leaving the venue
Major events: the walkway back to the railway station is the way out, and trains and buses leave from there. Taxis and shuttles move off the stadium to Bunny Street, Hinemoa Street or Thorndon Quay, there's no rank for pre booked cars, and expect delays. The car park and nearby roads can close at big events. Smaller events: drop off and pick up happen at ground level beside the pedestrian ramp.
Camping
None.

The track
New Zealand's first bowl stadium, built on reclaimed railway land at 105 Waterloo Quay, Pipitea, on Wellington's waterfront. Locals call it the Cake Tin. It holds 34,500 seated around a rugby and cricket field, with the public concourse running round the bowl and four levels of venue spaces above. No track: car events run on the field and the concourse, laid out for each event. It's owned by the Wellington Regional Stadium Trust, set up by the city and regional councils.
