Yatton Park is located off Fraser Street in Tauranga. The land was purchased in the 1860s by the late Mr John Alfred Chadwick, who purchased 400 acres which he built his home on and planted a number of exotic trees - 16 of which are now the largest of their kind in the North Island.
Today the park includes sweeping lawns, a recycling fresh water stream from a garden pool, and perennial flower beds. There is a 10 minute loop track through native bush at the back of the park. From the bottom of this loop the Waimapu Walkway takes you along the foreshore of the Waimapu Estuary with extensive views across to Hairini.
The park is partially accessible to vehicles and is open 8am-8pm spring and summer and 8am-5pm in autumn and winter.
