William Rolleston established the Victoria Park to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, in 1897. Since then, continued planting has brought native birds back to the area including fantails, silvereyes, and bellbirds, which can all be heard calling from the trees. Many of the plantings are native to New Zealand such as the kauri tree, while other more exotic plants grow on the western slopes of the park where the climate is warmer. Victoria Park on the outskirts of Christchurch offers a wealth of outdoor activities from the gentlest of walks to thrilling mountain bike tracks. The biggest attraction of this park is the Mountain biking tracks. If you have the love for trekking and in a mood for adventure, these offer some challenging terrains. One can have a pleasant walk through the different walking tracks available, through the blooming gardens and fragrant pine forests. Kids will love this place as it has a nice playground. There is a separate track for dog walking. There is also a permanent orienteering course laid out around the park for visitors who wish to challenge their pathfinding skills. Map packs can be purchased from the city council's service center in Beckenham.
This park offers great views of Christchurch and there is a good dog park to see.
