Opening hours

Parking

Parking is available for up to three hours when you visit Pātaka Art + Museum, Te Rauparaha Arena, or Porirua Library. Disabled car parking is available, with eight spaces - please display your mobility pass at all times.

Heading to Pātaka for a big event? Spaces can be limited and there might not be enough parks for everyone. You'll find free kerbside parking a few minutes away on Heriot Drive, Wi Neera Drive and Norrie Street. Car parks are free for up to two hours, but we'd hate for you to get a ticket so please make sure you check all the signs as parking is monitored. Porirua train station is only a five-minute walk.
