The Pettigrew Green Arena is the “Home of the Hawks”.
Our 2006 Championship banner hangs alongside side the retired jersey of the legend #8 Pāora Winitana in our 2000 seat state of the art arena.
Centrally located between Hastings and Napier in the beautiful suburb of Taradale, and at the base of the Otatara Pā site. Home to the first people of the lands, the Ngāti Kahungunu.
