âA very well looked after cricket ground, two pitches on the go, plenty of space but could do with more seating around the perimeter and somewhere to escape the wind. A wonderful place to watch cricket.â

âNamed in honour of Edgar Hika MacIntosh, Chch City Surveyor, who was instrumental in encouraging developers to set aside land for parks/recreation. Fabulous park and great for on or off leash (under effective control) dog walking. Paved or hard walkways and a lovely kids playground and paddling pool with shady areas.â
