Boyd Park is located on the corner of Stanley Avenue and Spur Street and is the main sportsground for Te Aroha.
There are two very distinct areas to Boyd Park. Approximately two thirds of the reserve is wetland, known as the Howarth Memorial Wetland, which contains a wetland walk and a bird watching hut. The remaining third is developed sportsfields and associated club buildings.
A BMX track is still under development.
Boyd Park was originally part of a large block of land that incorporated the hospital. The area was formerly administered by the Te Aroha Domain Board and had been used as a golf course, motor camp, A & P showground, rugby field and a rubbish dump. Many of the Te Aroha's leading citizens had been involved in the administration of the area and the A.R Johns Memorial grandstand honours the last chairman of that board. The former Te Aroha Borough Council took over responsibility for the area in 1968. The park was previously known as Stanley Avenue Recreation Reserve.
