β€œPerfect place to spend time in the evening and listen to the storys of homless people and talk about god an the world if you just met two wonderful girls and your mate is shooting his shot on a bench somewhere else. Had lots of fun, only love for tauranga.”

β€œPlayground with swing, slides and climbing nets. There is also a water play area that little ones can run around to play with the water. Playground is not fenced and is next to the Railway tracks and water's edge, so active supervision is required”
