Tel: +64 (0)3 332 9889 (Port Hills Ranger Service)
 

Rambling Victoria Park, on the Port Hills, offers great views of the city and plains below, and the alps in the distance. First set aside as a reserve in 1870, the park has a number of easy walking tracks, many suitable for wheelchair users. There are picnic tables and a children's playground. The visitors' centre has an interesting display of the area's history, geology, plant and wildlife. To older Christchurch folk, the park is infamous as the site of a 1950s murder, depicted in the acclaimed movie, Heavenly Creatures.

Guided walks: By arrangement with the park ranger.
