Ground facts
| Opened | Not documented (No source gives an opening date, and the venue's precise site (suburb/street) within the Wellington region could not be confirmed -- Rugby League Project gives only 'Wellington, New Zealand' with no further detail, no Wikipedia article for this specific ground was found, and it does not appear on Rugby League Project's own list of New Zealand team venues (which instead lists Athletic Park, Basin Reserve, and others). This should be treated as a genuinely under-documented venue rather than a data gap to be filled in.) |

Name history
Rugby league history
A venue in the Wellington region of New Zealand used for representative and touring-team rugby league fixtures spanning 1933 to 1960: an inter-provincial loss to West Coast (1933), a Western Division loss to a New Zealand Maori touring side (1956, crowd 2,500, the top figure recorded here), and a heavy Wellington loss to a French touring side (1960). No matches are recorded after 1960. No capacity, floodlight or playing-surface information was found, and it is unclear whether the ground still exists today under this name.
