Christchurch, The Garden City

Many OSCAR programmes take full advantage of the wide range of activities that are available in the Canterbury region.

The city alone offers many options, such as the beautiful Botanical Gardens. You can walk through, and admire the amazing array of colour, and play in the huge trees on the way to the excellent playground facilities, and in the warmer months swimming in the swimming pools. The museum also offers an unforgettable adventure; the Arts centre and the Art Gallery are all at an arm’s reach.

Just a short walk or a ride on the cities tram system is the Christchurch Square, where you can play chess and then admire the Christchurch Cathedral and the Chalice Sculpture.

Some activities available in the city include Garden City Bowl, climbing at either Clip n Climb or at the YMCA, kayaking down the Avon River or walking around the Aquarium.

Christchurch city has plenty of local swimming pools and parks which many OSCAR programmes take advantage of, giving their children opportunities and adventures to experience.
