  • Basin Reserve Trust Statement of Service Performance 2019/20
    Basin Reserve Trust Statement of Service Performance 2019/20 2 Introduction The iconic Basin Reserve has a rich history. The first game of cricket was played at the Basin on 11 January 1868, making it is the oldest cricket ground in New Zealand. The ground not only hosts cricket games, but sporting fixtures of every variety. It has hosted national events and competitions including VE Day celebrations, Royal Tours, exhibitions, Scout jamborees, concerts and festivals. In 1998, the Basin Reserve was listed as a Heritage Area, becoming the first sports ground to receive such a designation and further enhancing its heritage significance. The Basin is also home to the William Wakefield Memorial that was erected in 1882 and commemorates one of Wellington’s founders, William Wakefield. The Basin Reserve plays a role in assisting Wellington City Council to achieve the recreation and leisure participation aims signalled in the 2018-28 Ten Year Plan and the “Living WELL” Wellington Sport & Active Recreation Strategy. The redevelopment will reposition the Basin as New Zealand’s premier cricket venue and help attract national and international events to Wellington.
