Boasting some of the Bay of Plenty's best views, it's not surprising that Te Rae o Pāpāmoa visitor numbers have skyrocketed.
It's also one of the most significant cultural and archaeological landscapes in New Zealand and a much-needed upgrade is well under way.
"This project at Pāpāmoa Hills Cultural Heritage Regional Park is one that's been talked about for a long time," Pim de Monchy from the Bay of Plenty Regional Council said.
"The carpark and entrance to the park have been a bit of an interim solution for the past 10 or 15 years. As visitor numbers to the park have grown year-on-year - we're now at around 100,000 - we thought it was time to invest some capital and provide an opportunity for the four iwi partners to the park to tell their story and tell the public of Tauranga just how important this is as a site."
The design process has been a collaborative effort between a number of council partners and the iwi.
