Welcome to Huharua Park which is located at the end of Plummer’s Point Road, bounded by the Tauranga Harbour to the north.
The land is part of the original property settled by Ada and Thomas Plummer in 1907, and was retained by the family for almost 100 years. The land was farmed until 1976 when Tony Thorne, the grandson of Thomas Plummer, established a kiwifruit, citrus and avocado orchard.
Western Bay of Plenty District and Tauranga City councils jointly purchased the land from the Thorne family in 2003 for conversion to a sub-regional park.

There are now a number of caches scattered through this park, which will hopefully encourage more geocachers off the main highway.
