Perched at the edge of Rosedale Park, the brand-new National Hockey Centre offers an impressive base for some of the biggest field hockey teams in the country. With two FIH Global Elite-standard turfs, it’s fitting this is the training base for New Zealand's national hockey teams, the Vantage Black Sticks Men and Women. 

Hockey fans can cheer from the covered stands that overlook Harbour 1 turf, with another 50 covered seats overlooking Harbour 2. With LED lighting across all four pitches, you'll see plenty of action even after the sun sets. On game days, warm up with a hot coffee or fuel up with some snacks from the café. 

With five turfs in total, you’ll find two at the main centre and Harbour 5 just a short walk away, either across a beautiful walking bridge or via Jack Hinton Drive by car.
