Parks in Tauranga

“My son was there last week for a school holiday camp. He had a great time, beautiful place. I love the entrance to the place especially when I picked him up how the drive had been cleared of leafs makes it look stunning. Big thumbs up”

“Great place for outdoor activities especially for adrenaline junkies but not for so great little children to wander around. It's not the type of park you would find in suburban areas. There are no shops nearby.”

“Nice open spaces, with nice covered ( mature trees ) spaces with a water feature too. Toilets are close and so are shops, bars, cafès,restaurants and bakeries.”

“Great spacious area for recreation, boating or just relaxing close to cafe's etc”

“I enjoy this walk. This part of the walk is the bushier part - I start at Daisy Hardwick and carry on through to the Boardwalk and on to the Don Stewart Walk. Paths are easy and wide enough for cyclists to pass by you comfortably. The different scenery - the water, the bush, the boardwalk, the marshes, all keep your eyes interested. Interesting information boards along the way too.”

“A very sunny day,nice and peaceful place for spending time ☀️”

“Loved the Annual Water and Food Festival. #bonecarving at our Market stall”

“Gorgeous place to stop for a.late lunch on the way home from appointments in Tauranga. Refreshing sea air does one the world of good.”

“good small local market on a Saturday morning, makes a nice change when it's not the normal car boot type, this market has real nice things for sale”

“Great for children younger and older. Grassed area as well a play equipment. Toilets are on site and well kept.”

“We loved this park so well set up now Playground, toilet, BBQ and small amount of parking but parking available”

“Love my local little park. Great it's fully fenced off”

“Had lunch with the members from Zion after a had start of preaching the gospel in that area. Thanks to God we also played a game of Mafia.”

“Super clean & tidy. Great pools at 3 different temperatures. Lovely people who run it & the gardens were amazing. We only live 20mins away but will definitely be back.”

“We booked a powered campsite for a night on a whim at the end of October and had an incredible time at Sapphire Springs. We ended up getting the entire pool area to ourselves for an hour before it closed since it was midweek. Excellent clean facilities, and the woman working at the desk very kindly gave us tons of recommendations for our travels. Would love to camp here again!”

“Fantastic location and things to do! Heated pool, park, trampoline, giant chess board and a big screen and bean bags. Our room was great! Comfy bed, kitchenette had everything we needed and the fridge freezer was a nice size for the 3 nights stay. Awesome view of the Moana from our sea side room. From what I can see the other rooms look just as good. We stayed for the Mana Kuratahi kapa haka 2025. Our kids also loved it. Would definitely return and recommend to whanau and friends.”

“Great park. Large fields. Backs onto Centennial Drive. Lovely trees and great walk”

“Went to the night market. Good selection of food Music was awesome, very good singer.”

“Beautiful, a lot off space for good walkings.”

“Omokoroa Campsite rating TOTALLY UPMOST QUALITY. Amazing Campsite and such an enhancing Campsite. Latest developments just WONDERFUL. The owners are immensely wonderful and everly caring and helpful.”

“Quiet this evening, how anyone would love to stay over, not over stay.. Green and fresh air, animals and their pet humans enjoying the grassy field with their balls. Young men having fun together with determination and energetic in the sense of progression, no doubt.. Great to witness positivity tbh. We care big ears!”

“Great place for a walk dog friendly”

“Very Very Harder Leaving Fairhaven Park A Lot's 11th Saturday Night SHARON Would Likes Go Again At Fairhaven Park A Lot's”

“Lovely, kids had a ball. So much to do and lovely views too.”

“Great Camp - Very Friendly. The Stream is Iconic New Zealand. Love it……”

“Beautiful park with lovely kept mature trees. Lovely to spend hot summers day underneath shade of different trees. Beautifully manicured lawn and water feature. Council does a good job keeping maintained. A lovely green park in Matamata - perfect for picnic.”

“Freedom camp here for 2 smaller campers, Stayed two nights. Far enough away from the road and close enough to CBD etc.”

“What a lovely stay! Compared to the stay we had last year the place is getting better and better. The decor is dated but clean and tidy. Fun playground for the kids and swimming pool with shade! Management were more than accomodating for our large family. We will be back next year.”

“Stayed here for one night at one of their powered RV sites. The pools are clean and feel so nice, especially in cold weather/ rain. Showers are hot, kitchen and laundry room are great. Best Holiday Park we’ve stayed at. Very reasonable prices as well!”

“Super clean and spacious. I stayed in a studio & it had its own private patio out back. The thermal pool was great, the grounds are immaculate. Really friendly and accomadating hosts. Carpark is right in front of your room and the wait for uber to location is not super long (less than 10min when not peak). Would stay again.”
