Water park in Christchurch

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

“Wonderful vintage Market at this beautiful historic home. Market nicely set up inside house. A good rummage day.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“A lovely hole in the ground. Literally”

“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.”

“Redwood Aquatics is an amazing shop for reptile and fish supplies! Debbie is always friendly, quick to respond to my emails, and incredibly helpful. The store is fun to visit and it’s great to have such a reptile-friendly place in Christchurch - which can be hard to find. Highly recommend!!!”

“Nice local space, boasting a disc golf course, small playground, skate park and a pond surrounded by lovely trees and plants. Very family friendly.”

“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.”

“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”

“Great park for a kick around. Right across from the water & next to a new school. Portapotty onsite”

“very peaceful close to riccarton rd”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“Great camping facilities and loved the location. Very spacious camp sites. We had a great time”

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

“Great spot, so pleased we have this locally.”

“Pretty much the best skate pump track in all the Empire. Had it all to my self this winter morning. Skate on:)”

“Playground could do with an update but still good fun and lots to play on. A small creek nearby, basketball courts and fields.”
