Glebe Reserve is a small park at 8 Cephas Close, Sockburn, Christchurch 8042, rated 4.5 from 4 Google reviews. One reviewer calls it the smallest park they have been to, and says it works more like a walkway between Main South Road and Yaldhurst Road.
A small reserve that doubles as a walkway is judged on its paths, its lighting and how easily people can pass through. Short walkways suit a quick stroll or a dog walk, but there is usually little room for play equipment or games. If you plan to walk after dark, check whether the path is lit. Regulars often use a walkway like this as a short route to shops or school, which makes it handy on an ordinary day.
For a short walk between Sockburn's main roads, Glebe Reserve is worth knowing about.
