The recreational area at Himatangi Beach was the initiative of the Himatangi Beach Progressive Society Inc. The boating lake was constructed 1968-1969, with the majority of the work carried out by volunteers. The lake was created with a sealed bottom and a depth of 18 - 24 inches. On first opening the lake worked with ten paddle boats, a ten minutes time slot and a 20 cents cost.
