Best Park in New Zealand

S	Sam Moore on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I think the track is closed. But me and the kids walked it fine. Youngest was 7. Great fun
S	Sagar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's an amazing place to visit within city. And it's a good hiking spot. Can't say too easy, but most enjoyable one with beautiful view of the entire coastline of Christchurch, at least from New Brighton pier to Sumner. My only concern is few staircases that are in very bad shape may end up hurting someone. Also, need to be little careful as the trekking track is sometimes not so flat. Go, enjoy the trek, Cheers??!
y	yaya on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a challenging track. Easy to slip off the trail. Lovely scenery but the ladder to the cave was broken and the trail was quite wet. You need to wear proper shoes and really be careful to enjoy this track.
K	K H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great walk! Unfortunately, the Council have not repaired the 2 tracks to the cave. Unsure why one track is closed when the stairs to the cave are quiet dangerous walking up and down to the cave. Broken stairs with nails sticking out. I think once council do some maintenance work that is clearly earthquake damage, this track would be a 5 star rating.

L	Linda Chen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Would be a great walking tracks if the tracks and stairs were fixed. Good distance for 1.5 - 2 hours walk (am a slow walker). OK for older children (like over 8), not suitable for young kids because of the broken stairs, and some parts of the track were washed off. Would like to go back again, but only after the tracks and stairs are fixed.
D	Dominic Stove on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great walk and view. Shame the steps have fallen in to disrepair since the earthquake. Generally fairly easy 1hr walk each way apart from that.
E	Eranga Athukorala on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Barnett Park, which includes the entire walkway, is a long, narrow strip of land in the suburb of Redcliffs, off to the right as you drive around the estuary toward Sumner, From the car park, walk south along the east side of the playing fields to a stile leading to a farmed part of the valley floor. Continue past the end of Bay View Road on the left and one of a series of electrical pylons that cross the valley. The track climbs onto the hillside on a dirt track through grasses, gorse and broom. Further up the valley, native vegetation becomes more prominent. Seating is regularly placed along the length of the track. A steep staircase leads up to the cave, which surveys the whole of the valley.
