Baypark welcomes new venue partner Mercury 

Hello, yellow. 

Tauranga’s premier venue for live music and entertainment, sports and recreation, conferences, meetings, shows, and exhibitions has a new partner – Mercury. 

And a new name – Mercury Baypark. 
And a new favourite colour – yellow. 

Everything else, however, is exactly the same. 

Mercury Baypark Arena is where you will find social netball, football, basketball and volleyball leagues, community programmes like Tumble Time, and large indoor events like this month’s Bay of Plenty Wedding Show. 

Mercury Baypark Stadium is where you will find family-friendly entertainment such as the recent Grand Finale of the Valvoline D1NZ National Drifting Championship. 

And Mercury Baypark Open Air will continue to be the home for big outdoor festivals and events, like Polo in the Bay.

Same, same – but with a new name, and a splash of yellow to match. 

Mercury bought Trustpower’s retail business in May last year and this winter is bringing the best of both brands together for customers under the Mercury brand, while continuing to be a supporter of the Bay of Plenty community. 

“We are thrilled to have Mercury as our new venue partner at Baypark,” Bay Venues Chief Executive Chad Hooker said. 

“Mercury is an innovative and forward-looking company that works with a wide range of New Zealand communities to make great things happen. This is a perfect fit for us,” he said. 

“Here at Baypark, we also strive to make great things happen for our communities. Our purpose is to connect people through exceptional experiences and every day those connections bring a certain special energy to this venue. Welcome aboard, Mercury.” 

Bay of Plenty-based Mercury General Manager Customer Operations, Fiona Smith, said Mercury is thrilled to be adding a splash of yellow to Baypark. 
 
“We will continue the good work Trustpower started, investing in and being an active supporter of Bay of Plenty communities through sponsorships like Mercury Baypark and partnerships.”
