Come out and play - Tauranga activities for Play Week

News

Parents

Play Week Aotearoa 2022 is a celebration of play and its value to tamariki, whānau and communities across Aotearoa.

During November 7 - 13, we’re encouraging you to come out and play. It’s the easiest way for tamariki and whānau to stay active.

Play is fun, it offers freedom and chances to take risks. It’s how our tamariki learn to problem solve, get creative, make mistakes and create new friendships. They get to build the attitudes, skills and life-long love of being active.

Play also allows tamariki to experience joy and laughter in a way that is important to them.

A Sport New Zealand initiative, Play Week Aotearoa 2022, invites people across the country to take time out and play. Together, we want people to remember how they played when they were younger and to recreate those opportunities for their whānau during Play Week and beyond.

In Tauranga, Bay Venues have a number of fun activities for parents to enjoy with their children this Play Week.
