It can be said to be the largest and best park in Christchurch. Located in the city center, it is a great place for friends of all ages. You can spend the weekend afternoons with your family, using the sky as your room and the ground as your bed... quietly contemplating... or just being idle for the afternoon... It is also very popular on weekends or holidays!
A free national park with a great value for money, Hagley Park is the largest park in Christchurch. Suitable for friends of all ages... A great place for a weekend picnic!

I originally thought that Mona Vale Garden Park was connected to Hagley Park, but later I found out that they are not the same thing. Mona Vale was originally a private garden, but now it belongs to the government. However, Mona Vale is still very close to Hagley Park.
A place that I must visit every time I come to Christchurch is a garden donated by a private individual to the government. The scenery is beautiful, with different scenery in each season. You can see different flowers and feed wild ducks.

Avon River should not to be missed. we will be carried by a punter dressed in traditional Edwardian attire!
You will be slowly be brought along the water quietly past woodlands, weeping willows with the leafy banks of North Hagley Park along side the Christchurch Botanic Gardens.
You can also take a Punt ride from Worcester Street Bridge through Christchurch’s central city.
The mother river of Christchurch, the Avon River can be seen from almost all scenic spots, including the Bridge of Remembrance, the Botanical Gardens, Hagley Park, Mona Vale Manor... The riverside is lush with vegetation and full of trees, as well as many benches and stone steps for resting, where you can take a cruise or row a boat.

Victoria Square is one of the landmarks of Christchurch. It is smaller than you might think and you can see it at a glance. There is the Bowker Fountain in the square. It lights up at night and changes colors, which is very beautiful. The fountain was built in 1931 and has a long history. It was funded by the real estate developer Bowker, so the fountain was named after him.
Victoria Square is the largest square in Christchurch. It was severely damaged in the earthquake, but it has almost recovered in recent years. The entire square is surrounded by many rebuilt commercial centers and the business is very developed. If you want to shop, Victoria Square is the best choice.
