Travel Planning for Major Events

As Baypark is situated on an intersection between two State Highways delays will occur at major events when arriving and departing the venue. Baypark will operate comprehensive traffic management plans, however stadium patrons are strongly advised to plan their travel carefully and prepare for expected delays.

Helpful tips when travelling to major events:

  • Walk to the venue if you live nearby

  • Share your transport and fill your car with friends and family

  • Take a taxi or shuttle

  • Use public transport visit www.baybus.co.nz for more details

  • Bring something to entertain the kids while you depart the venue
