- springbanktraveller872 contributionsA feast for the EyesA most beautiful park in the centre of Christchurch. So many species of plants, flowers, bushes and trees blooming in the spring weather. A stream flows throughit and has many species of waterfownl swimming about. Many paths to walk along. A glass cafeteria with seating inside and outside under shady umbrellas. No wait servce, all food is bought at the small area in the glass house. So much to enjoy and you could spend several hours in the park.Visited April 2023Travelled soloWritten 1 December 2023

- TWal1Canberra, Australia2,926 contributionsGreat Public SpaceThis is one of the largest parks in the world and is larger than London’s Hyde Park but smaller than New York’s Central Park. It hosts a variety of features from botanical gardens, public golf course, international cricket venue to open spaces for families and people who want to exercise. Each Saturday morning, it hosts the local parkrun and it is an excellent event. It is very inclusive and is open to everyone regardless of ability.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 March 2024

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A well kept park, the Avon River is beautiful to stroll along.
During the warmer months it is a great place to participate in a Park Run on Saturday mornings.

Adjacent to the Botanic gardens. Great for a stroll or a bike ride. Tennis courts and Golf Club both available to the public. Extend your walk to Mona Vale Gardens and Riccarton Bush. ( Saturday farmers' market is worth a visit and some purchases.

Hi we are in Christchurch for New Year. Can you advise what is happening in the Park please. Will there be food and drink available, what time do the festivities start, can we bring a picnic? Thank you Jean McVeigh

Sorry but I don’t live there . You can probably get your answer via google. Remember it is the middle of summer at Christmas so you will have different opportunities. Enjoy your visit
