Tinwald Domain

Tinwald Domain is a recreation reserve in Tinwald, a suburb of Ashburton, in the South Island of New Zealand. The domain is located to the west of the main settlement of Tinwald and to the north of State Highway 1, and has road frontages on Maronan Road and Frasers Road. The Plains Vintage Railway & Historical Museum is located in the domain, and uses a section of the historic Mount Somers Branch railway line that passes through the reserve. The Tinwald Golf Club has an 18 hole golf course in the reserve that lies between the Mount Somers Branch railway line and Frasers Road. The southern part of the domain, with its boundary along Maronan Road includes a lake and picnic areas, a camp ground, the Plains Historic Village, and buildings occupied by community organisations. The domain, including the land occupied by the Tinwald Golf Club, is designated as a Recreation Reserve and is governed by the Tinwald Reserve Board, with administration provided by Ashburton District Council. The total area of Recreation Reserve land is just under 100 ha (250 acres). However, in common usage the Tinwald Domain typically means only the park land in the southern part of the reserve that includes the lake and picnic areas.
