Part of Tauhara Park borders the suburb. The park has a mini golf area, a playground, sports fields and walkway/cycleway paths, which connect Harrowfield to the Kirikiriroa Stream valley, Queenwood and Flagstaff. Some of the park, on the far side of Wairere Drive, covers the old Rototuna landfill. Since the late 1990s much of the leachate from the landfill has been collected for disposal at Pukete sewage works. However residents were expressing concerns about it in 2012.
Christmas lights in the suburb attract many visitors.
In 2017 development of a further 22 dwellings, including 8 duplexes, was approved. Previous developments were on plots of around 1,200 m2 (13,000 sq ft), rather than the higher 320 m2 (3,400 sq ft) density of the new one, which backs on to Wairere Drive.
