Seddon Park is one of only two purpose built cricket venues in New Zealand after Basin Reserve in Wellington. It is the home of Northern District cricket and also a international venue for cricket. It is a beautiful cricket oval and one of only a few that still has the traditional picket fence around the field. It is a common place to gaze upon the identity of Hamilton's cricket heartland. It is a social constructed space where all ages can enjoy and collect the surrounding of this magnificent cricket environment. I personally thoroughly enjoyed my time at this park and seeing the identity of visitors from abroad mixing with the identity of the Hamilton created a fantastic atmosphere that would rival any stadium in the world. For most visitors to Hamilton it would not be a attraction to collect but i believe that it is a essential part of the Hamilton culture and experience, similar to that of Waikato Stadium. For youth travellers it is very affordable to attend a cricket match at this venue and will make for a pleasant and enjoyable day for all. Even the ones who are not cricket fans will enjoy the character that this cricket ground possesses.
Till next time.
Luke.
