Keith Hay Park #17

About

Keith Hay Park #17, on North Island, is a sports pitch at 63 Arundel Street in Mount Roskill, Auckland.

First-time visitors should expect a straightforward, well-used pitch rather than a spectator venue, so arriving with kit and booking arrangements settled is the sensible approach. A 4.7 out of 5 average across 436 reviews places it among the more consistently regarded pitches of its kind in Auckland. Auckland sits close by, and Wellington, Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupo, Napier and New Plymouth are all reachable for teams travelling from elsewhere on the island. Its Mount Roskill setting puts it within Auckland's suburban grid, south of the central city.

Seasons here run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer falling between December and February, which shapes when the ground is busiest. Traffic drives on the left, and hire cars are the usual way to travel between towns. English is the main language, with te reo Māori also official, so Māori place names appear throughout. Hāngī, cooked in an earth oven, and pavlova are both part of the local food culture.
