Saxton Cricket Oval
About
In North Island, Saxton Cricket Oval occupies Stoke, Nelson 7011, New Zealand. The sports pitch sits in Stoke, within reach of Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth.
A 4.5 out of 5 average across 289 reviews marks it as a well-used ground with a steady following. Its website, http://nelson.govt.nz/recreation/venues-and-grounds/saxton-oval-pavilion/, covers the ground and pavilion arrangements. First-time visitors should expect a grass oval with a pavilion, where play is watched from the boundary rather than from fixed grandstands.
Stoke is the setting for the ground, and the oval is reached by road from Nelson and the surrounding area. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so the cricket calendar falls over the warmer months.
Fish and chips, meat pies and flat whites are everyday takeaway staples across New Zealand. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands.
