Victoria Park Christchurch New Zealand
Situated on the ridges and valleys descending from Sugarloaf, Victoria Park has panoramic views of Christchurch, the Canterbury Plains, Pegasus Bay and the Southern Alps. The park has a vast array of tracks for walking, wheelchair and mountain bikes.
Extensive native plantings to supplement the native forest remnants in the park mean that native birds are also returning. Commonly seen are korimako (bellbird) riroriro (grey warbler) tauhou (silvereye) and piwakawaka (fantail). Also known as a place to see the uncommon (in NZ) European introduction, cirl bunting.
