Dog Walking in Victoria Park

101 Victoria Park Road – Off Dyers Pass Road or off Victoria Park Road.

Victoria Park is a great spot for dog walking and family outings with breathtaking views of Christchurch everywhere you turn. For the doggies there is a huge, securely fenced area with grasslands and inclines and fresh drinking water available. There are also poo disposal bins on the gates so you don’t have to walk miles carrying bags of poo.

For human kids Victoria Park is home to a giant slide and enormous playground. There are picnic tables and plenty of beautiful spots to lay out a blanket. The Tawhairaunui Trail is a great walk for the whole family, the track is built for wheelchairs so it is perfect to take a buggy for smaller children. Dogs must remain on a leash on this trail.

Gates close 6pm in winter and 9pm in summer.
