Saxton Stadium is part of Saxton Field, a 65-hectare sports and recreation park at 142 Saxton Road in Stoke, Nelson. The park sits on the border of Nelson and Tasman, and is jointly owned by the two councils. Its facilities include the Saxton Pavilion, Saxton Oval, the Cricket Oval and park grounds, and the stadium is one of the venues for hire. Sports codes range from local teams to international ones, and the park also hosts tournaments, community groups and family celebrations.
The park is open to walkers as well as teams, and its open layout has as few barriers as possible. Indoor and outdoor spaces are available for events in rain or shine, and the website lists upcoming events through Eventfinda. The park is in the heart of Nelson Tasman, a short drive from the city.
