Hagley Park

Hagley Park is the jewel in Christchurch's garden city crown, and is one of the largest inner-city parks in the Southern Hemisphere.

Easy walking distance from Cathedral Square, Hagley Park covers an area of 165 hectares. Within the park you will find many recreational areas - tennis courts, running/walking tracks, exercise equipment, sports fields, band rotunda, a lake and netball courts. There's even an 18 hole golf course!

The park was declared as a public reserve in 1856 by Christchurch's first European settlers - a remarkable work of foresight considering the recreational areas the park provides today
