Smallbone Park is a cricket ground in Rotorua, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. The first recorded match held on the ground came in 1938 when Bay of Plenty played Waiapu.[1]
The ground held its first first-class match during the 1968/69 Plunket Shield when Northern Districts played Otago. Between the 1968/69 and 1995/96 seasons, seventeen first-class matches were held there, the last of which saw Northern Districts play Central Districts in the 1995/96 Shell Trophy.[2] The first List A match held there came when Northern Districts played Auckland in the 1984/85 Shell Cup. Northern Districts played six further List A matches at the ground, the last of which came in the 2002/03 State Shield against Otago.[3]
