Children's space in Christchurch

Links Functions and Events keeps things coffee‑and‑cabinet and focused on flavour. Morning service moves at a steady clip. The team keeps things friendly and organised. A coastal backdrop rounds out the stop.

“Awesome outdoor garden mext to Te Ara Atea Rolleston new library with various plants and small sculptures.”

“It was quite big and a lot room to move around”

“Dog here, this is a great little park with good spots for pee mail. There is a few things about but no lights. It is a long thin small park and can get busy there is a small pond too but the ducks do not want to be sniffed. Also something funny happens with the pond as it is only above leg depth on the ducks but I was swimming. Anyway apart from some stuck up ducks it is pretty social and safe down a dead end road and away from sports fields. Lights are not a problem for me I am black and my nose works in the dark. My owner spent about 10 minutes calling a tractor tyre called leo to him. I could not figure out why and eventually tapped him on the back of the leg to say the tyre is not coming. Boy did he jump, but that tyre must have been dead like I get when I see a rabbit, none here tho. Recommend will do again.”

Love the team at Wigram Chipmunks they make amazing coffees! the best I've had a long time.

“Went to the Holden show at Wolf Brook arena this Saturday. Wasn't disappointed. Excellent year coverage with beautifully turned out cars, utes and a few vans. I didn't think to take pics for posting but these are the few I did take.”

“Mean place to chill out with some bros, but you're at high risk of an angry mother telling you that you're a threat to children and that you simply MUST leave the premises, because a public park is not suitable for any individuals over the age of 11. The individual who threatened to call the authorities on me knows who they are, and they should know what they did wrong. If they still believe that they were in the right, and can do no wrong, I request that they take a long look in the mirror and think, "How did I turn down such a dark and depressing path?" Great experience overall, 10/10, would argue with that Karen again, loved every second of it.”

“Great place to let kids run off steam. Good for all ages with nature play Options”
