The map above shows some car parking sites, and there is on-street parking in the area as well. It will be busy so please be patient and give yourself lots of time.
There are quite a few buses that stop nearby too:
Route 63 (Balaclava-Logan Park), every 30 minutes
Route 14 (Port Chalmers), every 60 minutes
Routes 15 (Ridge Runner), every 60 minutes
Routes 37/38 (University), every 60 minutes
We've got you!
Find an elevated location where you can look towards the Stadium and you should be able to see the show. It is designed to be viewed from underneath so it will look a bit different but still beautiful.
AND you don't have to miss the amazing soundscape by Alistair Fraser - just tune in to OAR FM to listen live while watching the drones:
