The Waimata River is used for recreational purposes near the city with rowing and waka ama clubs storing craft on the banks. City parks such as Anzac Park provide access to the public for water activities. Restoration projects are in progress inland at Longbush Reserve, which has provided weta for colonising at Young Nick's Head and this has assisted in allowing Tuatara to be introduced to an enclosed site.
Water quality in the Waimata is often poor due to high sediment loads caused by the erosion prone nature of soils in the headwaters.
