Te Awamutu's War Memorial Park is a much-loved heritage green space centred on the Mangahoe Stream, featuring a duck pond, ornamental fountain, rose gardens, and shaded walkways that have made it a family favourite for generations. In May 2024, a brand-new $460,000 playground opened inside the park, designed with the local RSA, mana whenua, and landscape designer Brodiehailwood, featuring a timber fort with artwork by Waikato artist Dannika Tukua, slides, swings, balance play, and musical and sensory elements. The park has ample parking, public toilets, and plenty of picnic tables shaded by mature trees, making it an easy half-day destination. Accessible throughout for pushchairs and wheelchairs, and the duck pond is a guaranteed hit with younger kids. A lovely spot that combines playground time with a walk along the stream and Pioneer Track.

Beautiful modern playground inside War Memorial Park. Plenty to do in a tranquil setting, and the playground has some equipment that is not commonly seen in a lot of playgrounds. It's therefore refreshing, a bit of a change for the kids from seeing the same things everywhere. Highly recommended as a visit if you are in the area. Our kids also enjoyed exploring the stream that runs through the Park.

A hidden gem in Te Awamutu. Beautiful photo spots with gorgeous trees and lots of stonework. Full of history too- we got chatting with some locals and found out some fascinating facts about how this park reflects its purpose as a war memorial. Lovely place to hang out for a while with playground, shade, and grassed areas. Well done, Waipa!
