Ah yeah good point, didn't think of that. Bottom row is essentially ground level too on the seated stands so wouldn't have worked.

Think what it needed Smithy was some vision years ago to try and do something to attract people. I bet if that safe beach and Esplanade area had been somewhere in Aussies it would be far different from what is there currently.

 

I don't think Petone beach is ever going to be New Zealand's Bondi big fella. Don't get me wrong, I live right by Petone beach and I love it, but she's windswept in both directions and the southerly washes up enough shark to make it mostly strewn with driftwood. 

Jackson Street is pretty cool these days though, and getting better all the time. Petone's a popular spot, as evidenced by house prices that I cannot afford.

Yeah do realise that and not suggesting a Bondi type place. You can bet if there was such a place as close to a main city in Aussie  there would have been a lot more effort put into making it a place to attract visitors to.

Waaayyy back when, it looked like there could be some hope for it. There was a mini putt course and bumper boats and it was always very busy but stopped there and both those places eventually died.

As for southerlys washing up shark thats just the one of the things im talking about,its a bloody disgrace the state that beach is allowed to get into.with very little effort made to keep it clean.

Totally agree with you on this. However, Petone beach does offer the casual walker lots of different dog poo to practice your side step on because owners are too damn lazy to use a pooper scooper. Then there's the wonderous kinder surprise empty beer or rum/cola cans just waiting to have their contents discovered usually by curious kids. They could have developed the wharf more too, but such forward thinking is beyond Petone and the nimby's comprehension. Think of the kids? Piss off, they think of themselves.

Petone could have been developed into an awesome place but now it is derelict buildings - Unilevers for example, The railway station area until they started using the space for building houses etc.

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

We could've used the big banner, but I think someone else already has that idea.
