Story

Basin Reserve - narodowy stadion Nowej Zelandii do gry w krykieta zbudowany w 1868 r. W XX wieku nadano mu status zabytku. Jest to najpopularniejszy i największy stadion do gry w krykieta w Nowej Zelandii (krykiet jest sportem narodowym tego kraju). Stadion był używany również jako scena koncertowa.Usytuowany jest 2km na południe od dzielnicy biznesowej, u podnóży Mount Victoria (Góra Wiktoria). Na południe od stadionu znajdują się: Government House (siedziba gubernatora Nowej Zelandii) oraz szkoła (ang. Wellington College). Na wschód od stadionu położony jest Tunel Wiktoria (ang. Mount Victoria Tunnel), zbudowany w 1931 r. Znamienne jest ograniczenie ruchu w pobliżu Basin Reserve do minimum (droga w pobliżu stadionu jest jednokierunkowa).Stadion mieści również muzeum krykieta (ang. New Zealand Cricket Museum). Muzeum zaopatrzone jest w bibliotekę z literaturą dotyczącą historii krykieta i zasad gry.Pierwsza gra na Basin Reserve miała miejsce 11 stycznia 1868 r. i toczyła się między więźniami z Mount Cook Gaol a strażnikami z tegoż więzienia. Rozgrywka zakończyła się kontuzjami wielu zawodników z powodu kamieni i żwiru tkwiącego w trawie. Po tym pierwszym spotkaniu władze miasta rozpoczęły organizację mityngów lekkoatletycznych i rozgrywek sportowych na Basin. Rozgrywki te nazwano Highland Games. Konkurencje, które wliczały się w skład mityngów to : lekkoatletyka (przede wszystkim biegi), wyścigi, taniec oraz później ścinanie drzew i wyścigi rowerowe. Podatny na nierówności grunt został odnowiony w 1872 r. Pierwszy profesjonalny mecz krykieta rozegrano 30 października 1873 r. między Wellington i Auckland (mecz zakończył się zwycięstwem drużyny ze stolicy). Pierwszy mecz rugby rozegrano pomiędzy Wellington a drużyną marynarzy z HMS Rosario, który ci drudzy wygrali przewagą jednego punktu.

Went to the Night Noodle Market here last week. Really cool venue for this, hope they have it here again. Lots of space to move around unlike at Frank Kitts park. Security and entry/exit was easy as always at the Basin. Loved having a walk around on the hallowed turf at the end of the cricket season too.
One of the world's most iconic cricket grounds and certainly the most iconic cricket ground in New Zealand. The Basin Reserve has a rich history and is a real treat for the ardent cricket fan. The ground has two gates Dempster and Reid gates which are open to public on non-match days such that cyclists and pedestrians can enter from one gate and exit via the other. Took a walk along the picket-fencing on the boundary on a quiet Sunday morning, recollecting all the great moments this iconic ground has produced in the cricketing world. Seating for spectators can be either on the grass embankments, or seats in the R.H. Vance stand and the Pavilion. In terms of spectator capacity, it can accommodate only a few thousand people, which is significantly lesser than the Westpac Stadium. There is a cricket museum, which unfortunately was closed when I was there. On the pedestrian/cycle track around the playing field, there are plaques containing feats accomplished at the Basin Reserve. Highly recommended for cricket enthusiasts to visit this historic venue in Wellington!
Probably the best ground for Youth rugby in Wellington. Drains well, parking isn’t too bad early Saturday morning.
Iconic ground to watch test cricket. Lovely range of dining cuisine. Cambodian, Thai, Greek,, Argentina, Italian and waffles, gelato, chips in sauce
Great place to go soak up all that history and they have a cricket museum even still I was there to run the ground exactly a km Have fun relaxing at the basin
This is another good venue for cricket and there is superior food and drinks to other venues- look at the ice blocks! On the downside it is very exposed to the sun do bring your sun protection and it can be very windy. Parking is also an issue so best to use public transport like a bus to get here and return. The best place is normally on the bank but you can retreat in the grandstand if the sun gets too much hot for you in the afternoon . There are a number of entry and exit points. Frequently the wellington weather plays a part in the game with sessions being called off.
Great game of cricket! Fantastic Wellywood day! Awesome to witness Daryl Mitchell's and Devon Conway's maiden centuries! Go the Blackcaps!
Very nice vibe and atmosphere but do take plenty of sun block and water as it can get very hot in Summer.
Always a great time at the basin. Definitely a place to go during a summer in Pōneke
Was there for a conference. Nice for the requirements of that event. Update: Beers at The Basin was another event that was awesome. Well organised!
