Queenspark Reserve

📍 Parklands, Canterbury

★4.6(40 Google reviews)

Best for families whose kids are into disc golf or mountain biking, with tracks winding through the trees. Pram-friendly and open, but it gets windy and the sport fields are a bit rough for picnics.

Great disc golf course. Often windy

🏆 Family Action Verdict

This one's a winner if your crew is into disc golf or mountain biking - the MTB tracks weave through the trees and are apparently more fun than McLean's Island. Just know it can get windy out on the reserve, and the sport fields can look a bit rough underfoot, so it suits active outdoor days more than a manicured picnic.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Dress for wind - the open reserve catches it, especially on the disc golf course
⏰The disc golf is a manageable 9-hole course, good for a shorter outing
đŸŽŸī¸Bring your own coffee and snacks - there's no cart even during morning sport
🚗The MTB tracks are undulating and wind through trees, great for a change of scenery

Reviews from Google

Overview

The draw here is the disc golf course and the MTB tracks that undulate through the trees, which one parent rated more interesting than McLean's Island. It's an open outdoor reserve, so it can get properly windy, and the sport fields look a bit patchy underfoot. Bring your own coffee - a few parents wished for a cart during morning sport. Better suited to active, run-around days than a manicured picnic.
