A free family playground on Armagh Street in the Christchurch Central City, beside the river. It has adventure play equipment, including a three-storey spiral tube slide, and an interactive water play area with pumps and splash features, which is most popular on warmer days. Picnic areas sit along the river, and birds can be watched from there.
Visitors say the playground suits children of all ages and that families often spend two hours or more. Food carts are on site, offering fish and chips, doughnuts and ice cream, and there are coin-operated barbecues if you bring your own food. Free parking is available, and the site is wheelchair accessible and pram-friendly. One visitor says the toilets were clean.
