A park is often at its most useful when it is at its simplest. Grass and open space are enough for many people—children playing, people running, someone needing to move and think. Parks do not need to be complicated or heavily developed to serve their neighbourhood well. The most-used parks are often the straightforward ones that simply exist and let people use them as they need. A neighbourhood park is successful when it is just there, reliable and available, without needing to be special or themed.
Chartwell Reserve in Christchurch provides exactly this kind of simple, functional open space.
