the local council for public recreation (as it was in its heyday during the 1970s and 80's). There are picnic tables built around the lakes arc and there are four playgrounds. At the southern end of Lake Moana-Nui are gardens which were planted by a collective of Tokoroa school children. Tokoroa Airfield Tokoroa has an airfield with an 850m sealed runway, although its use for manned aviation is somewhat limited these days. There are no scheduled air services to or from the airfield and it sees, on average, just a dozen or so aircraft movements per month. More frequently it is used for the flying of RC model aircraft (including very large Jet-powered models) as well as advanced driver training and drag-racing events. Town library The current location of Tokoroa's library holds many historic memories for the locals – as it was previously the town's cinema. It currently holds a library with a full computer suite, over 2,000 books, a reference book section, and children's leisure area. It is located in the Tokoroa town centre.
