Public pools & Water 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 park great playground. Loads of fun and have a toilet near by. Beach is not far away”

“Very busy. Good range of toys and games. Nice to see their painting section stocked well.”

“A short Gondola ride up to the top of Mnt Cavendish, a great outlook over the city and a view of some sheep in the paddocks below, but it was the view at the top that looks towards Lyttleton Harbour and the city is spectacular! Very smooth ride and not really that high off ground,(I still wouldn't want to fall out, though), but within reach of some with height fears.”

“Kore Sailing making great use of the lake on a Monday afternoon”

“We've had nothing but a great experience buying our spa pool. It's awesome, it does everything it's supposed to and was a great price compared to big spa companies. Great quality, Balboa is the highest quality brand for spa pool parts. And we were able to pay it off in our own time. Very happy, thank you”

“Caught the sunset here on a weekday and had the entire place to myself. Very tranquil and good spot for a picnic.”

“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”

“Fantastic & Free!! Stayed a night in my Non Self Contained Van, I love freedom camping, this place is fabulous, heaps of room. Flush toilets.”

“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.”

“Awesome ladies working here! Keeping to limits for the Pokemon craze! And also trying their hardest to keep everyone happy with the current market of Pokemon. Absolutely awesome ladies!”

“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”

“Beautiful place especially on a calm warm summers night. Love it”

“Nice track and beautiful waterfall. Watch out for mozzies and sandflies in summer. Be sure to go with people as you’ll want someone to open and close the gates for you as you pass through the farms. I’d recommend taking a 4wd to cross the rivers along the way.”

“We did the 1 hour loop track in anti-clockwise direction. Its all beautiful, but the wasp populations are crazy in summer, so better be prepared with anti-histamine creams / sandfly repellants forehand. The ascend after the first stream is very steep and might be tough for beginners. There was mud almost everywhere, about 40% of the track. The waterfall here is not accessible, you can only see it from a top bridge.”

“Kids friendly and very good place for trail running or walking.”

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

“Loved it but I think some of the trees etc need thinning. Most of the walking paths have thick hedge like vegetation either side and you have no view of what's beyond”

“Good car park. Reasonable walk. Great large creek for dogs. Nice.”

“Governors Bay Fete opened 20th October. It was fun and I had a great day. Seemed everybody enjoyed and kids loved.”

“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.”

“This is one of the newest retirement village in Christchurch that is located in Casebrook suburb. It is a well designed gated community retirement village and is one of three belonging to Summerset Group in Christchurch. The main complex consists of a hospital level care with other levels of care such as independent living (serviced apartments) and other facilities (refer to their website). There are also villas, cottages and townhouses to choose from. It is a safe choice for the elderly folks as this site is fully fenced with control entry for safety reasons.”

“The river is hella cold but that’s to be expected it’s great”
