Event Locations

Rotorua has over 100 parks and reserves available to be booked for your event or gathering

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

You can book a reserve for a sports game, or a function like family gathering, wedding ceremony or work BBQ.

Because reserves are public land, booking does not give you exclusive use of the area and you cannot discourage other people from using the reserve at the same time as you.

Rotorua Lakes Council will make sure that facilities like toilets and rubbish bins are ready for your function.

Contact the team to make an enquiry or book a reserve.
