Rosanna Reserve is a small suburban park at 8 Rosanna Place in Aranui, Christchurch, rated 4.0 from 2 reviews, with visitors describing a nice small park well planted with bush plants. There are no toilet facilities or playground on site, so it suits a stroll or a sit-down more than a full family outing.
Small neighbourhood reserves are a quiet counterpoint to Christchurch's big destination parks: green pockets for a short walk, a lunch break or some fresh air close to home. Because facilities are often minimal, it pays to check what is on site before setting out, particularly with children in tow. What regulars value is the ease of it all — established planting brings birds and shade, and there is rarely a crowd to contend with.
For Aranui locals after a patch of green a short walk from home, Rosanna Reserve is a handy little stop.
