- The Omaru Stream runs through the centre of GIen Innes. We've been supporting the local planting and regeneration of the stream in GI. The wording of the proverb, "Ko au te awa, Ko te awa ko au", which translates as "I am the river and the river is me" aptly describes our commitment to this regeneration project.
- Want to sample the flavour of the area? Check out the “Kulture & Kai Markets”, held on the first Saturday of each month, 10am-2pm in Mayfair Place, Glen Innes. The focus is on quality ethnic foods, with 90% of the stalls from Tamaki or Glen Innes food retailers eager to share their culture. Oftentimes, there's also live entertainment from local performance groups playing on the Mayfair Place Community stage.
- It's home to the Tahuna Torea Bird reserve. This unique land spit juts out into the Tamaki River and provides a haven for wading and share birds. The area is abundant with migratory birds and, as a result of years of work from volunteers, the indigenous Kotuku (White Heron) is slowly making a comeback.
- If you feel the need to spend some time in large, green fields, then Pt England Reserve is the place for you. On offer is a rural landscape park in the city. Want to see cattle is grazing on rolling green fields or want to pretend you're not even in the city - then this is the park for you.
- Glen Innes has the one and only Philippino restaurant in New Zealand! For two consecutive years, Turo-Turo has been named Metro Magazine's top 100 cheap eats.
There's so much to love about Glen Innes!
