Park Island is the largest sports complex in Napier, New Zealand. It hosts clubs and facilities for association football (soccer), cricket, hockey, netball and rugby union. It includes Bluewater Stadium, a multi-purpose stadium that has a capacity of 5,000 people and opened in 1985. The stadium is used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Napier City Rovers [1] and Hawke's Bay United. It also served as a training venue for teams in the 2011 Rugby World Cup. [2]
Areas around the park were rezoned in 2016 and 2017 to build a new high-performance rugby facility. [3]
