Parking and transport - Baycourt - where the arts come alive
 

Parking and transport

Baycourt is one of Tauranga city centre's star attractions, drawing crowds from near and far. You’ll find us right in the heart of the CBD at 38 Durham Street.

Box office parking

If you’re just popping into our box office to buy or pick up tickets, there are three, free 5-minute parks directly outside our front entrance. Come on in.

On street parking

There's limited on-street parking on Durham Street and as well as near by Hamilton, Willow and Spring Streets. Parking fees apply Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm. You can pay using nearby parking machines or the PayMyPark app. Make sure you check any time limits on signage (e.g. P15, P30, P60 or P120) so you don’t get caught out.

The good news is parking is free in the evenings and on weekends - perfect for most Baycourt shows and events. Just remember, it's first in, first served, so arriving early is a smart move! 

Carpark buildings

This is the most reliable place to find a park, and there are two parking buildings close by.

The TV3 rooftop carpark (entry off Wharf Street) has 45 spaces and is directly opposite Baycourt. The Spring Street carpark (entry off Durham Street) has 321 spaces and is a 200m walk up a gentle slope to reach our venue.

Parking fees apply at both carparks during the day, but they’re free after 5pm and on weekends and public holidays.

Mobility parks

Two mobility parks are available on Durham Street, right outside Baycourt (please note these are managed by Tauranga City Council, not Baycourt). 

View the Tauranga city centre access map (201kb pdf) showing all the mobility parking spaces around Tauranga’s city centre. Or download the free Tauranga Access Map app on your phone which will guide you to accessible parking, restrooms, playgrounds, local businesses, council facilities and more.

Buses

Bay hopper buses connect Tauranga’s suburbs with the CBD, picking up and dropping off passengers just down the road from Baycourt on Durham Street.

Bikes

If you want to burn off some energy before or after a Baycourt performance, you can park your bike or scooter on our front lawn in one of the bicycle racks provided. Don’t forget to lock it up!
