The Nelson region is known for its year-round sunshine, golden beaches and National Parks.
Trafalgar Park, Nelson
Capacity: 20,080
Address: Trafalgar Street, Nelson
Cricketers were hitting balls for a six around Trafalgar Park in the 1880s. Rugby players have been using it for over a century.
Throughout the years Trafalgar Park has undergone many upgrades to allow the facility to showcase more and more sport and recreation activities and to seat more people. In recent years the Park has been used for music concerts and other entertainment as well. One of the most attractive aspects of Trafalgar Park is its proximity to Nelson's city centre.
Rugby World Cup 2011 will see Nelson transform into Little Italy for two exciting matches, and the town has promised to turn red, white and green in their honour.
