Park in Christchurch

“A great walk. We headed up via the RHS. Starts gently then for the next third goes up a bit steeper. The final third flattens off. Good views going up and from the cave itself. The walk down is pretty steady on LHS (as you look from the bottom). Less rocks etc than going up on the RHS. There is a toilet block at Football club. ( needs a clean)”

“A great place to take your dogs; so far everyone (two and four legged) has been friendly. Often if you get there early enough in the morning, there's even wild rabbits for them to chase! Heaps of space and different areas to go.”

“Great fun for all ages. My daughters loved the pony rides. They were a bit nervous, but the people working the pony rides were so nice and made my girls comfortable and have an awesome time. Lots of other beautiful and interesting animals to see and feed.”

“Had a coffee break out witnessing. Watch out for the golfers hitting golf balls lol. i noticed there was a lot of green grass and trees, pioneer stadium is close by and one good feature out side was that there was volley ball courts and tennis courts and basket ball courts all available free to use. and there are picnic tables and a barbeque there to use, so i recommend trying out this place with your family.”

“Great location to take the kids to burn of some steam.”

“Very nice motor camp with a great vibe. Great value for money very tidy and clean facilities. I booked one night in the Tui caravan and 2 nights in one of the cabins. Loved the Comfortable beds in the caravan. Friendly helpful staff and very accommodating when my plans got messed around by Airnz. I Will definitely recommend and will stay there again if I’m down that way.”

“Great accessible playground for toddlers! So much to do and older siblings will have fun too”

“A very well looked after cricket ground, two pitches on the go, plenty of space but could do with more seating around the perimeter and somewhere to escape the wind. A wonderful place to watch cricket.”

“Nice skatepark and playground..clean toilets easy street parking.Rose garden is in full bloom”

“Absolutely great place to take your dogs for a run in a well fenced area with seats doggy do bags and rubbish bins and there are areas for all different size of dog not just one area fits all they can be segregated”

“Very nice to visit the Victoria Park and the flowers and trees are very good.”

“Nice hot spa while watching grandies in lazy river and shallow pool”

“A nice park not far from Northlands Mall. Two small main entrances that are quite narrow making you believe its just a small park. However they lead out to a large open grass area. Its also nice that there are quite a lot of trees surrounding the open grass area, more so than most parks. There is a medium sized playground located near one of the entrances on St James Ave. Overall a very nice park.”

“Stayed here before flying out of Christchurch. Uber is around 50nzd to airport. Owner was amazing and loved some banter! Very accommodating and even though he had over bookings (because of third party booking apps) he made it work for us. Rooms are simple but have everything you need. There is a bar at the front and the staff are lovely there too. True kiwi hospitality! Chur!”

“You have some nice walks of varying ability - head up valley for gentler climb - some trees bird song. Head up to left for a steeper climb - can even get to Ridgeline and look over Lyttleton harbour- can share with mountain bikes- so keep lively - normally parking at the end of the road is no problem - Happy walking”

“We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful scenery along the Avon River. The area felt much more expansive than the Botanical Garden but still provide green luscious atmosphere comparable to the Garden, with lovely walking tracks shaded by tree-lined paths. There’s also a nice café to stop by along the way. Overall, doing a loop walk from bridge to bridge was a truly enjoyable experience.”

“Had a lovely round of disc golf.”

“A peaceful escape from the city, watercress grows all along the river and the water looks fresh and swimmable”

“Great open space and a neat playground for the kids. Be careful not to get bowled over by the bikes that travel through!”

“Great new recreation area for kids on bikes, dogs with two doggy sized areas, walks, and playing fields”

“A lovely hole in the ground. Literally”

“I had bad experiences with dyeing my hair but finally I got the color I wanted at this salon.. Thank you very much”

“Walk through here daily, wee boy loves the playground equipment, heaps to keep a toddler entertained Flying fox, big slide, fully fenced small children's play area, big kids play ground, toliets, skatepark, sports fields and more!”

“Beautiful park. Good space for activities or a walk with the dog before picking up the kids from school”

“Tranquil and Private park for the residents to enjoy. Nice benches for taking in the surroundings or having a moment of reflection. Comes with average toilets and a small playground with drinking fountain on the other side.”

“Great place very convenient, probably the only suggested upgrade would be a separate area for smaller dogs.”

“So cool! Good value for money! Had a shuttle if you didn't feel like walking. Lots of cool animals to see. Even got to feed the giraffes! Very ethical place no forcing the animals to interact it's all on there terms. Plenty of very friendly staff and awesome guides.”

“The best rugby! It was awesome to see the Crusaders Team training. Great people running for a good cause, "The Long Run". So nice to see a big community give their best to support the ones in need. I can't wait to be there next time!”

“Great sports park to walk in. No benches but fantastic to have a safe walk/run area. They have soccer in winter and I think I saw the groundsman mowing the lawn for cricket the other day. Nice open space surrounded by lots of beautiful housing”
