Memorial Park playground

Right in the middle of town, this is the kind of spot you end up at because it’s just *there* and convenient. Ōpōtiki locals know Memorial Park as a familiar stop, the sort of place you pass on errands and end up staying longer than planned. It’s an urban setup, so don’t expect anything wild or remote — just a straightforward park space that does the job. If you’re passing through the Bay of Plenty or just killing time in town, it’s worth a wander.
