Molyneux Park is a cricket ground and sports complex in Alexandra, Otago, New Zealand. It is the main sports venue for the Alexandra area.[1]

Molyneux Park was developed in the 1960s and 1970s. As well as cricket, rugby, softball, netball and bowls facilities it has a seasonal outdoor ice skating rink, squash courts and the Alexandra bike park.[1]

The first recorded cricket match on the ground came in January 1961 when Central Otago played the touring Marylebone Cricket Club.[2] The ground held its first first-class match during the 1978/79 Shell Cup when Otago played Central Districts. The following season the first List A match was held there when Otago played Wellington in the 1980/81 Shell Trophy. Molyneux Park has been used as a home venue for Otago since then. As of early 2021 it had hosted 31 first-class matches,[3] 66 List A matches,[4] as well as 10 Twenty20 matches.[5] Between 2006 and 2009, Otago Women used the ground for home matches in the State League.[6]

Two Youth Test matches have been played there. The first came in 1999 when New Zealand Under-19s played England Under-19s, while the second saw New Zealand Under-19s play South Africa Under-19s.[7] Three Youth One Day Internationals were also played there between 1993 and 1995.[8] Molyneux Park is also the home ground for the Otago Country cricket team, which competes in the Hawke Cup.
