Rambling Victoria Park, on the Port Hills, offers great views of the city and plains below, and the alps in the distance. First set aside as a reserve in 1870, the park has a number of easy walking tracks, many suitable for wheelchair users. There are picnic tables and a children's playground. The visitors' centre has an interesting display of the area's history, geology, plant and wildlife. To older Christchurch folk, the park is infamous as the site of a 1950s murder, depicted in the acclaimed movie, Heavenly Creatures.
