Petone Recreation Ground is a cricket ground in Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand. The first recorded match held on the ground came in 1951 when Hutt Valley played Wanganui in the 1950/51 Hawke Cup.[1]

The ground later held its first first-class match during the 1991/92 Shell Trophy when Wellington played Otago, with the match ending in an 8 wicket victory for Otago.[2] A second first-class match was held there during the 1998/99 Shell Trophy when Wellington played Auckland,[3] with the match ending in a draw.[4] Wellington Women used Petone Recreation Ground as a home venue between 1998 and 2002.[5] From 2015/16 season some Plunket Shield matches will be played when Basin Reserve is unavailable.
