A major milestone for sport in New Zealand. ⚽
Bill McKinlay Park is now home to New Zealand’s first TenCate Pure PT field, installed by TigerTurf New Zealand — introducing world-leading non-infill turf technology designed to deliver the playability and feel of premium natural grass with the durability and consistency of a synthetic surface.
Developed through years of research, testing, and collaboration with elite athletes and sporting organisations, Pure PT has been engineered to provide exceptional player comfort, natural ball response, and reliable year-round performance in all weather conditions.
Its innovative non-infill system also reduces maintenance requirements and minimises environmental impact, helping create a more sustainable future for sports infrastructure.
As one of Auckland’s most iconic football venues, Bill McKinlay Park continues to lead the way in sports surface innovation, setting a new benchmark for football facilities in New Zealand and showcasing what’s possible for the next generation of community and high-performance fields.
