Mobility scooter
You can borrow a mobility scooter for free from Whangārei Art Museum to get around the Town Basin and the Hātea Loop. It has enough power to complete the entire loop and visit all the experiences the area has to offer.
The mobility scooter was donated to our District by NorthAble in 2014. To use the scooter, phone the Whangārei Art Museum between 10:00am and 4:00pm seven days a week, or call in as you are passing.
