Middleton Park is a park on Lochee Road in Upper Riccarton, Christchurch, with a Google rating of 4.2 from 71 reviews.
A good city park is judged on paths that work for both a short loop and a longer walk, and on seats and shade placed where people actually stop. Families tend to look for open grass, play areas and a place to picnic, while many dog walkers check whether paths stay firm after rain. Parks near residential streets often have regulars who walk the same route each day, so early mornings can be the quietest time to visit. When choosing one, look at parking, lighting for winter evenings and whether toilets or drinking water are nearby.
Its Lochee Road location makes it a handy green space for a walk in Upper Riccarton.
