Yarrow Stadium is situated in the central suburb of Westown in New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand, with main vehicle access off Maratahu Street.

A major redevelopment saw two new grandstands added and considerable modernisation in 2002, and further enhancements to the venue were completed in 2010, raising the capacity to more than 25,500 for the 2011 Rugby World Cup and other fixtures.

In May 2019 owners, the Taranaki Regional Council, made a decision to repair and refurbish both grandstands in order for both stands to comply with earthquake regulations.

The contract to repair the West Stand was awarded to Clelands Construction in December 2020 and involves major earthquake strengthening works including improvements to ground stability, foundation tiebacks and new steel beams.

The Legends Lounge is on the top floor of the TSB Bank Stand and has panoramic views of both playing arenas and the back fields.

However Yarrow Stadium hosted many matches in the New Zealand domestic Twenty20 cricket competition in the 2015/16 summer the first time in 14 years using a drop in pitch.

[6] In March 2009 the Crusty Demons Unleashed Hell Tour stopped in at Yarrow Stadium and put on a show for the approximately 6500 people who attended the event.

[7] Postponed by 24 hours due to rain, the Nitro Circus team made up of around 30 motocross, BMX, FMX, inline skaters and scooter athletes performed at Yarrow Stadium on 12 February 2017.

[9][10][11][12][13] For a single match, Yarrow Stadium acted as the home ground for the New Zealand Warriors as they played against the Canberra Raiders in the National Rugby League competition on 21 May 2016.

The region's World Cup bid and future ability to attract top games such as another All Blacks test meant a greater capacity was needed.

At both the northern and southern ends of the field, concrete walls were removed and the crowd area brought back down to ground level just six metres from the dead-ball line.
