Parks & Reserves

There are more than 110 public reserves in the Rotorua urban area. Council maintains these open spaces, gardens and parks, and provides facilities like toilets, playgrounds and barbecue areas.

Booking a Reserve
You can book a reserve for a sports game, or a function like family gathering, wedding ceremony or work BBQ. We will make sure that facilities like toilets and rubbish bins are ready for your function. Because reserves are public land, booking does not give you exclusive use of the area. You cannot discourage other people from using the reserve at the same time as you.
