Magnificent Hagley Park, where Christchurch folk walk, jog and play, covers 161 hectares of the inner city. Almost every sporting activity imaginable is played here, from petanque to New Zealand's national game, rugby. In summer, outdoor concerts are held in this English-style park, with its many large, beautiful trees. Declared a public reserve in 1856 by European settlers, city laws state that the park must remain intact. Features include a fitness track, an outstanding springtime woodland area, a perimeter track for walkers and joggers, Lakes Victoria and Albert, a golf course, a quaint band rotunda, tennis and netball courts and a cricket pavilion which is believed to be the oldest in the southern hemisphere.
