Recreational boating is a major activity in Tauranga and Marine Park is seen as a key small boat launching site. The provision of quality boat servicing facilities in close proximity to launching ramps has encouraged locals to use this area.

Generous parking for boat trailers and a floating pontoon add to the area's popularity giving onlookers an interesting view of the variety of fishing boats and fish that can be caught.

At the top end of Sulphur Point is one of Tauranga's marinas, which shows an array of large powerboats and yachts. The yachting and boating clubs have their premises here and onlookers can watch their regattas and races. There is a BBQ at Sulphur Point.

Cycling is a popular activity around this area. A BMX track is located in Marine Park and caters for BMX enthusiasts.
