Great slide here and a great panoramic view of Christchurch city and the surrounding Port Hills.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

The panoramic views alone make this worth the trip, and the popular slide means kids are equally rewarded. Works well combined with a short Port Hills walk for families who want to extend the outing.

Overview

Perched on the rim of the Port Hills, Victoria Park Playground delivers one of the better views from any playground in Christchurch — a panoramic sweep of the city with the hills as backdrop. The slide is consistently praised by visiting families and makes the trip worthwhile. The park surrounding the playground is a natural addition for an extended walk, and the combination of play and scenery makes this a popular destination for weekend morning outings.
