Seddon Fields is an athletic field at 180 Meola Rd in Herne Bay, Auckland City, with a Google rating of 4.5.
A good athletic field has a flat, well-drained, evenly mown surface, clear markings, goals or posts in good repair and enough space around the edge for players and spectators. If you are booking a field for a game or training, ask about the surface, lighting for evening play, changing rooms, toilets and parking, and whether the field is shared with clubs and schools. Regulars check for closures after heavy rain, as councils often close grass fields to protect them, and bring water, sun protection and a spare layer. Weekends in season are busy with club fixtures, so weekday evenings or early mornings are easier for casual play. Keep dogs on a lead where rules require it, take your rubbish home and stay clear of the pitch while games are on.
For people in Herne Bay and across central Auckland, Seddon Fields on Meola Road is a well-rated local place for sport and open space.
