From St. Faith's it's a short distance to the local hot spot (literally) Kuirau Park, a public park that includes an active thermal area. The mud pools and hot springs sit alongside the flower beds, which at times are almost hidden by floating clouds of steam. You can wander around the park or join the locals soaking your weary feet in shallow warm pools. This place is very thermally active and can change overnight, so as you stroll around, stay well outside the fences.
