Water park in Christchurch

“Best place to take walks on. Very spacious park and has been a part of Christchurch’s identity as the Garden City. Plenty of spaces to take walks and jogs on. Beautifully carved and is clean every time, so you can see how well it’s been taken care of and how disciplined everyone visiting is. Christchurch truly is beautiful and Hagley Park adds to that!”

“Great place to go for a walk. Take my dogs most days, they love it too”

“Beautiful gardens immaculately maintained. Delightful flora thoughtfully planted amongst older trees.”

“Amazing new playground, well designed for kids of all ages. Very creative play equipment. Kids there have been very well mannered and play well together. There are sheltered benches to rest and a drinking fountain. Plenty of parking in the carpark. Location is great, just opposite the aquatic centre so we usually pop over for a swim after a play. Toilets are a few mins walk away, not very close.”

“I nice quiet little park with shaded seating, bins and toilet facilities. Lots of fun equipment but the slide stairs are rounded and not very great to climb up. Kids loved it!”

“What a great place to go with the family. Great beach with lifeguard, playground pool and mountain bike trails. Huge amount of walking tracks through forest and along the wetlands with lots of birds. The beach is huge and great to drive along. Highly recommend.”

“A lovely park to walk right the way through or stop and sit in the rotunda and admire the view. A bird aviary and kids pool and playground plus toilet block can be found within the grounds of these gardens”

“Lovely visit to the beach. We saw the rock cave and there was a restaurant right on the beach.”

“Beautiful area and so many friendly people with their dogs!”

“Went here a few weeks back and had a lovely time having a look around while the dogs played. The community there are also very friendly and talkative which was really nice to see. Big open spaces for the dogs to run which is contained with gates to easily open and close when needed. Thought it was awesome too that there were plenty of rubbish bins around also with some picnic tables if you need to have a sit down while watching your dogs play.”

“Very nice, quiet, park with an easy trail to a beautiful clifftop lookout!”

“It’s the Beach !!!! The Sun’s out, no Clouds in sight. What else is there to say apart from 5 stars aren’t enough to express how much I love it here!!!!”

“Nice walkway. I used valley track carpark and walked valley track and emerged to Rapaki. Just took 40mins. And going down to valley track, it will be fine but pretty tough in the end.”

“2 adjacent dog parks, one for under 14kg dogs. A nice big area for ball chasing.”

“A great range of scenic walks, with different lengths and abilities. Some interesting historical landmarks and a cafe that is open occasionally. It also includes a lovely area with a large childrens playground and space for picnics.”

“Almost an hour to the beach from the entrance, nice & flat foot path, i’d highly recommend this place if you enjoy taking a stroll while listening to your fav album. Remember to take a photo of the map before going in as the park itself is MASSIVE”

“This is an awesome dog park for both small and big dogs with separate gated areas”
