Long Bay Regional Park is a park in Tahekeroa, Rodney, rated 4.7 by visitors.
A regional park often has the space to handle a large group gathering, a birthday, a family reunion or a work outing, in a way a small suburban reserve simply cannot. Regulars know to book ahead for any group facilities if the park has them, since a popular spot can be claimed early on a fine weekend. It is worth bringing more supplies than expected, water, shade, food, since regional parks tend to be further from shops than a local reserve. Arriving earlier in the day usually means better parking and a better pick of spots to set up, particularly over summer when these larger parks draw visitors from well beyond the immediate area.
In Tahekeroa, Rodney, Long Bay Regional Park is a substantial local option for a day outdoors.
