TECT Park

1650ha of all terrain playground located 34km south of Tauranga City on SH36

TECT Park banner

This all terrain park is divided into zones to cater for the needs of all visitors which allows for both quiet places and action packed recreation areas.

The park caters for active recreation like walking, horse riding or mountain biking as well as noisier hobbies like motorcycling, target shooting and rally car driving. No hunting is permitted in the park.

More information about what's on at TECT Park, including contact details for user groups and clubs, can be found at the TECT Park Activities webpage.

If you wish to use the KiwiCamp facilities (showers, access to power to charge mobiles, laundry facilities) you will need to purchase a digital key before heading to the park, as these are not available for purchase at the park. Find out more at the Penny webpage.

Freedom camping is available with prior approval.

For general park information including opening hours visit the TECT Park website.

TECT Park Strategic Plan

In 2024, Western Bay of Plenty District Council adopted the TECT Park Strategic Plan as managers for TECT Park. Built from user group and wider community feedback, the plan sets goals, aspirations, and operational responsibilities for the park over the next 10 years.

Important safety message

The park is relatively remote and the ranger is not always available to help. Please plan your trip carefully.
