190 hectares of parkland set alongside Lake McLaren and is just ten minutes by car, from Tauranga. The park is popular for camping, fishing, kayaking, disc golf course, wedding photos, picnics, bush walks and summertime concerts. Google the website for times that the dam is opened as it causes a massive rush of water creating some of the best white water kayaking rapids in NZ.

Food scene
another casual dining spot on Newton Street Mount Maunganui in an unusual location set on the edge of the park in an industrial area, it contains a craft brewery with a huge range of beer and cider and fabulous fresh dumplings. A great place to take kids as there is a large green space.
