McLean Park - Te papa r�'hia o McLean

The jewel in the crown of Napier's suite of sportsgrounds, McLean Park is the home ground of the Hawke's Bay Rugby Union (Magpies) and the Central Districts Cricket Association (Stags). Six light towers light the park for night games. Capacity is currently close to 20,000.

The McLean Park complex comprises an indoor stadium - the Rodney Green Centennial Event Centre - with an international standard outdoor sportsground and stands.

The park's main uses are rugby and cricket at international and provincial levels. Other events held on the park have included pipe band contests, displays and marching competitions.

This is the home ground of the Hawke's Bay Rugby Union and the Central Districts Cricket Association. Six light towers light the park for night games.

The park's playing surface is mainly rye grass on a sand carpet. The wicket is based on Tongoio clay and was voted the best wicket in New Zealand by the international players in the 2008/09 playing season.

The park drains quickly and always has a good strong-rooted sole of grass which also makes it a top surface for rugby.

Located close to Napier CBD, McLean Park is about a 15 - 20 minute walk from the CBD of Napier.
