Hagley Park has been at the heart of Christchurch since the 1850s when it was set aside for recreation and enjoyment of Christchurch residents.  

Today, it is the most significant central city park, offering a diverse range of entertainment and recreational facilities close to the city centre.

Hagley Park is renowned for its extensive area of 165 hectares (407 acres), its wide-open spaces and mature woodlands. It comprises North and South Hagley Park which are separated by Riccarton Avenue and bordered by Deans, Hagley, Rolleston and Harper Avenues. 

A visit to Hagley Park gives an appreciation for the very beginnings of Christchurch city as we know it today.

Cycling

Whether you're looking to link up with the various city cycle networks or take a family ride on the easy terrain, Hagley Park has you covered.

Walking

With the perimeter pathway of North Hagley Park measuring 4.5 km, and South Hagley, 3.7 km, there is plenty of space along the tree lined avenues for walking and cycling.
