For breathtaking views of the coastline all the way to the Kaikoura Ranges, check out Scarborough Hill. Beginning at the end of the seaside suburb of Sumner (15-20 minutes from city central), the walking tracks have frequent resting spots, with stone seats strategically placed to allow you to catch your breathe (it is a steep climb!). Once at the top, walk along the cliff crest to Nicholson Park to find Christchurch's best-placed swing, flying out over Sumner and the rest of the world. If, however, that all seems too much, then drive. Apart from being quicker and less exhausting, it is much easier to drive when bringing a picnic basket with you.
