Parking and transport

Ensure a smooth trip to Baycourt by planning your parking and transport options ahead of time.

Arrival area outside Baycourt with visitors and vehicles.

Box office parking

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


On street parking

PayMyPark app

There's limited on-street parking on Durham Street and the nearby 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 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, on weekends and public holidays.


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

You can view all the mobility parking spaces around Tauranga's city centre in the city centre map. 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.


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!
