Newtown Park Stadium is on Roy Street in Newtown, Wellington, and Wellington City Council owns and maintains it. Athletics Wellington runs the athletics side and coordinates summer bookings for its track and field committees and affiliated clubs. The site says the grass arena is not to be used for athletics. In winter, the track has bookings on Tuesdays and Thursdays with lights, with times adjusted for daylight, and football is the priority user from April to September.
Access outside booked times is by swipe key fob, which can be bought at the council's Newtown Parks and Reserves Depot at 113 Russell Terrace or at Newtown Library in Constable Street. In summer, Saturday sessions include a children's programme from 9.30am run by Wellington Harriers, and senior track and field competition from 1pm. The site says athletes must show respect to other users, and that the access is a privilege, not a right. Season booking requests are due by 1 September.
