Walks

• Regional park walks
  Christchurch’s regional park walkways pass though many different landscapes. Wetlands, pine forest, coastal dunes, rocky open tussock areas, and native bush are all to be encountered. You can follow coastlines, circle a wetland, skirt an extinct volcano crater rim, or peer into an old quarry site.
  
• Waterway walks
  Christchurch's four rivers, the Avon, Heathcote, Styx and Halswell meander through scenic environments providing a relaxing and intriguing experience all year round. The wetlands in Christchurch offer a number of easy walkways and viewing areas with opportunities to see many bird species and plant communities.
