Parks and Public Spaces

Sub-pages

Whakatāne is home to a number of beautiful gardens. They’re all close to town and offer a perfect place for a sunny weekend walk.

The story of our past is imprinted on many significant sites in the Whakatāne District. Tread carefully where heroes and honoured ancestors lived and died. Their presence enriches our lives today.

The page provides information on the rules and locations (sites) for camping and overnight parking for self-contained motorhomes and vehicles.
