Murchison Park
Lowry Avenue
About
A natural-state park with stands of indigenous trees and plants, including flax (harakeke) and cabbage trees (ti-kouka), Murchison Park is situated in one of the quiet backstreets of Christchurch's outer residential areas, about 15 minutes drive from the city centre. The park has a large playing field, a stand alone swing and a rock climbing area and also a children's playground. There is even a pair of miniature rugby posts, for those wanting to try out their All Black-rugby kicking skills. A small flax-lined stream runs along one area of the park.
