β β β β β really good short cut and kinda nice to just chill in the middle of the city (assuming mowing and other noisy things are not going on like pesky cricket games).

β β β β β 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!

β β β β β 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.

β β β β β Another quaint cricket oval with a history that is hard to better. It has been host to many historic sporting events. It also features a museum to share it's stories. Well manicured and will play host to many more.

β β β β β Nestled beneath Mount Victoria and Mount Cook, the Basin Reserve is an island of cricket in inner city Wellington. Spectators are accommodated on a grass bank on the eastern side of the ground, a natural sun trap which also provides shelter from the notorious southerly winds. The ground is protected by Act of Parliament and is New Zealand's only sport ground on the National Heritage list.
