The most distinctive building at Saxton Field is the Saxton Oval Pavilion, which won a NZIA Nelson Marlborough Architecture Award for Arthouse Architecture.
The sleek cylindrical shaped building features internal spaces that work independently of the outer shell and house a function space, bar, kitchen, administration, cricket team facilities, athletics timekeeping and storage areas.
The 100m long structure has covered walkways that extend from each end into the central function space, giving spectacular views over the Athletics/Football area or out to the Cricket Oval. Ramps and terraced seating provide additional spectator seating.
