A helicopter will be delivering materials to the Tui Domain Track on 3 March 2026. The track will be closed during this period to ensure safety for the public and the working team. We will be transporting materials up to a remote location to enable us to undertake track renewals.
Following the storms on 21-22 January 2026, we haven't been able to assess all of the tracks yet so please be extremely cautious and check this update on what to expect and a few tips to help keep you safe.
Neil Algar/Furness Park Walkway
This pleasant walk on flat ground links Furness and Neil Algar Reserves. The walk is mostly flat and pathed, making it ideal for older people and people with limited physical abilities. The scenic walk begins from Peria Road or Pohlen Park. There is a stand of native trees near the Peria Road end of the track that were planted by the Kiwanis Club of Matamata in 1991 in commemoration of their 75th anniversary. A stormwater retention pond has been planted and maintained as a landscape feature.
The reserve is named after Dr Neil Algar, former Mayor of Matamata Borough, former Councillor of the Matamata-Piako District, and past Chairman of the Matamata Community Board, for his significant contributions to the Matamata Community. At the Peria Road entrance, this walkway joins a seperate 600m long footpath track that leads to the Matamata Cemetery.
