While cricket was the first sport to be played on the Basin Reserve, it was followed closely after by other pursuits as athletics quickly found a place here. The Basin Reserve was home to Harry Kerr, the walker who would deliver our first Olympic medal, and Jean Wilson, one of the first women to compete at the Olympics. The Basin Reserve’s place as Wellington’s home of athletics would draw to a close in the 1960s.
