Merivale, Tauranga

Merivale or Parkvale (Māori: Tutarawanga) is a suburb of Tauranga, in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island.

The suburb was established after World War II, when six family farms, including the Merrivale Estate, were purchased by developers and subdivided.[1]

Local residents and organisations refer to the area as Merivale. However, some maps refer to the area as Parkvale, and New Zealand Police and Fire and Emergency New Zealand dispatchers often follow these maps. The agencies officially recognise both names.[1]

Merivale School is a co-educational state primary school for Year to 6 students,[2][3] with a roll of 146 as of March 2020.[4]
