Donate towards an even better Tamahere Park!
Tamahere as a community has come together in partnership with Waikato District Council to develop Tamahere Park as 'the heart of the village'.
The development includes a destination-level playground, skate park, half-size basketball court and a performance stage in the new 'town square', all of which sit alongside junior football, cricket and lacrosse fields. Artistic furniture in the Park created by metal sculptor Marti Wong has meanwhile been sponsored by local families and businesses.
Now the community is gathering support to install CCTV in the Park, plus shade sails over its playground - donating is a simple and effective way for individuals and companies to contribute towards making Tamahere an even better place to live and play.
Momentum Waikato is providing the online means - all donations are passed directly on to the Tamahere Park project for immediate use (not added to an investment fund as we usually do).
Just visit momentumwaikato.nz..., select a Payment Option, and then select 'Tamahere Park Redevelopment' from the menu before paying. We're making it easy to support this great community project!

Vandalism is costing ratepayers - what can be done to better protect our public spaces?
Vandals have repeatedly damaged public amenities across the Waikato District, leaving ratepayers to pick up the bill. So far in 2025, the cost has climbed to nearly $123,000, reports the Waikato Times.
The council is urging residents to report vandalism as soon as possible.
