Marineland of New Zealand, located on Napier's Marine Parade, operated as a marine park from the 1960s until 2008. Today, the site has been transformed into a public reserve where visitors can explore the grounds and see the famous dolphin statues that stand as a tribute to the park's history. It's a quiet, reflective spot that offers a unique glimpse into New Zealand's past entertainment culture, with the statues providing a popular photo opportunity against the coastal backdrop.
