Best place in Christchurch to tire out your dog! Endless trails, fresh air, and the pine trees smell amazing. Dogs can be off-leash the whole way.

Huge forest with so many different trails. We've been coming here for 5 years and still find new paths. Great for a half-day adventure with the pups.

Fantastic forest park. Trails can get muddy after rain but that's part of the fun! Pack plenty of water for summer visits.
