Ground Information
The McLean Park complex comprises an indoor stadium – the Rodney Green Centennial Event Centre – with an international standard outdoor sports ground and stands.
The park’s main uses are rugby and cricket at international and provincial levels. Other events held in the park have included pipe band contests, displays, and marching competitions.
This is the home ground of the Hawke’s Bay Rugby Union and the Central Districts Cricket Association. Six light towers light the park for night games.
The park’s playing surface is mainly ryegrass on a sand carpet. The wicket is based on Tongoio clay and was voted the best wicket in New Zealand by the international players in the 2008/09 playing season.
The park drains quickly and always has a good strong-rooted sole of grass which also makes it a top surface for rugby.
