Reviews of Porritt Stadium

D. W.

We did a little scavenger hunt there, and it was a nice little evening there. Not too many trees (unless you count the little woods on the edges but unusable for a picnic and such) but they were playing fields so to be expected

A. H.

I had no idea that community members and groups use Porritt Stadium for exercise and training. I observed hurdles, runners, walkers, soccer training, sprints trainging, physio/massage sports therapy. And just follow the little path around to another field and into a hidden passage beside a creek trickling with water. Its was very peaceful.

Soft surface running track open to the public during daylight hours. Loads of different groups use it as well - check the website. Lanes 1 & 2 closed for casual use. Lane 3 has some wear on one corner (as at 4 Sep 2020), but overall quite good. Not too exposed to wind etc. Toilets available. Haven't checked out showers etc.

Accomplishing her goal and target at stadium Well you can see in her eyes That for some reason Appear as if it was computer generated With special effects but now i know it was Because this photo went viral Nowhere else on the Internet is there a picture of someone's eye so stunning And so mr finally alluring

R. M.

Great place to run! nice variety of surfaces, 400m track, cross country course and some paved paths around the vicinity. I love that the athletic track is available for free public use. Just watch for roaming dogs when running on the grassed areas out the back and lock up your valuables or keep them in eye sight.

M. C.

The places is hugeeeee, and clean. There's all types of sports games there and the field track is just beautiful

M. S.

Love porritt stadium. Its a great place to take the dog for a walk and they have a running track

H. R.

Lovely freedom campers, very hospitable, was a joy camping there.

r. s.

Good place to take a dog for a walk, or take a football for kic k around with your children

T. S.

Nice and quiet stay for three nights there are open toilets beneath the stadium plenty of rubbish bins though prefer that you take your rubbish with you

r. t.

Great park to relax or take a walk

S. “. Z.

The only freedom camping spot so far, for resting up for 3 days at a time, in self contained campers legally. Is nice and secluded, must keep area clean and tidy. During school days, sports events are on and parking can get pretty tight, though can enjoy the events.

J. W.

Great high quality athletics venue

P. G.

Well maintained track, and used frequently by the public for events. It is user friendly, and all of my experiences there have been positive

D. M.

Porritt park is a great place to stay while in Hamilton. It's just down the Rd from our daughter's so nice and handy. We have stayed here a few times with lots of other travellers. Have always felt safe. A definite stop for weary when passing through. Sadly no views of anything much

K. M.

Great facility for the community. Easier access to the stands would be helpful as the stairs are very steep. Great amount of shade trees to sit under on the grounds around the track.

T. I.

Clean, tidy and popular to track runners. Plenty of parking and field space

i. I.

Hardly changed in 40 years Same stadium, same running track except now instead of the hard smooth surface it's now the soft rubbery style of surface which is spike friendly There's 3 additional playing fields around Not much else to say really

A. L.

A large arena with lots of capabilities for different athletic sports. Including (I may miss some) a large track, discuss enclosure, shot put area, a grand stand, a long jump pit, a high jump mat and hurdles. Theirs plenty of shade for spectators and the steep bowl shape of the grass embankment allows spectators to see.

A. T. K.

One of New Zealand's top athletic track and field venues, with a proud history. Preparing mentally to officiate before a Senior event

M. G.

Good safe place to park if your living the campervan life :)

Great parking down driveway. Another beautiful asset in Hamilton, New Zealand. Home of Hamilton Wanderers. Booking requests to use the stadium can be made by visiting the HCC website and completing an Excel spreadsheet. Sporting code facilities available at Porritt are for athletics and soccer.

A. S.

Great area with lots of space to wait in. It has great facilities and the toilets seem to be cleaned regularly. porritt stadium is a great place to host athletic events.

L. H.

Pretty good, great for all that sporty stuff but i wish the big seats were just a little more cleaner

G. E.

Fantastic athletics facility. Visited by many parents and the children for inter-school sports etc. Nice setting and usually plenty of parking.

H. C.

Just stayed in car but my phone was good

First time visiting the stadium, for Colgate Games 2019. Good facilities. Both in the stadium and the surrounding fields.

My school has their athletics here. We had it start of 2019 and the heat was so unbearable. With a massive school, there was no place to sit at that wasn't on fire. Still rate it 4/5.

Our kids enjoyed themselves thoroughly, weather held, Colgate Games 2019. Te Puke Amateur Athletics, strong and proud.

(Translated) Perfect overnight parking for self contained. It is not very well signposted, the places are not demarcated but there is space. Have a good stopover. There are even public toilets under the stands. (Original) Parking idéal pour une nuit pour self contained. Ce n'est pas très bien signalé, les places ne sont pas délimitées mais il y a de l'espace. Bonne escale. Il y a même des toilettes publiques sous les gradins.
