Sweet park. Good big field. Flying fox is a bit low and needs an oil but its great. Dont bump your butt. Table with a gap for a wheelchair. Toilets are decent, smelly but seemingly clean. No hand towels or air dryer though? Free BBQs. Its a good spot. Just bring a towel for drying your hands 🤣 …

Te Papa Tākaro o Tongaparaoa / Ila Park is a destination community playground on Ila Place in Hairini, Tauranga, serving the Hairini, Ohauiti, Maungatapu and Poike suburbs. The 2024 upgrade brought in a double flying fox, tube slide, climbing timber frame, big swings, a learn-to-ride cycle path, a basketball court and a separate fenced younger-kids area with smaller swings, slide, tunnel and seesaw, alongside three carved boulders representing the three local hapū and reconnecting Mauao with the Waimapu River. The site has dual electric BBQs, multiple drinking fountains, picnic seating, shade, toilets and parking, and is well-regarded by locals as a family-friendly day-out spot.

Nice park in Ohauiti. Came here first time with my kids and they enjoyed the playground, slides, swings, etc. There’s a bbq, half basketball court and toilets. Parking is mostly on the road.
