Owen Delany Park

Owen Delany Park is a multi-purpose stadium on Centennial Drive in Nukuhau, Taupō, opened in 1983 and named after Owen Delany, who founded the United Wanderers Cricket Club in 1953, reformed the Taupō Rugby Football Club in 1954, and was awarded an MBE in 1995 for his contribution to local sport.

The ground has a main stadium with a partially covered grandstand, multiple rugby fields, artificial cricket pitches, an indoor gymnasium, a velodrome and outdoor courts, supporting rugby, cricket, athletics, gymnastics, netball, cycling, football, rugby league and archery. Listed capacity reaches up to 30,000 for concerts, 20,000 for rugby and 15,000 for cricket.

The park has hosted notable fixtures including King Country's 1994 match against a touring South African rugby side and New Zealand One Day International cricket between 1999 and 2001, and continues to host the annual Jock Hobbs Memorial National Under-19 rugby tournament. Its scale and covered grandstand make Owen Delany Park a genuine large-capacity option for major sporting events, concerts and associated corporate hospitality in Taupō.
