This site is a 622m2 triangular reserve.  Tainui Street Reserve is bounded on the east by Tainui Street, on the west by Arawa Street, and to the north by a car sales yard.  The northern section of the reserve adjacent to the car sales yard contains a concrete area with water features that are no longer functioning.  It is a highly visible site as it has two road frontages.

The Operative District Plan designates the site as a Proposed Reserve (designation no. 48) in the Business Zone.
