Broadhaven Reserve is a neighbourhood park on Bower Avenue in Parklands, Christchurch, rated 4.4 from 208 Google reviews. It is described as a sports park with a multi-play structure, swings, a block wall and goal posts.
A good local park gives families and neighbours somewhere free to play, kick a ball and meet, with space for children of different ages and a surface that is safe to run on. Check the playground equipment suits your child's age, bring water and sun protection, since shade can be limited, and keep an eye on little ones near roads and open fields. Early evenings and weekends are busiest when local sport and school groups use the space, so a weekday afternoon is calmer. If you plan to run a casual game or a birthday gathering, look at the goal posts and open grass, and take your rubbish with you.
For Parklands families and local children, it is a handy neighbourhood space for play, ball games and fresh air.
