Top Parks in Canterbury

If you want to save some cash, pack a picnic! The gardens have plenty of lovely spots to relax, and it's a nice way to enjoy your time surrounded by nature without blowing your budget.

I highly recommend exploring the park on a bike. It's a great way to cover more ground and see everything quickly, plus it feels more fun than walking. You can rent bikes nearby!

If you're interested in flowers, check out the Botanic Gardens within the park. They open around 7 am, which is the perfect time to enjoy the peace and take beautiful photos without crowds

Don’t forget to bring a picnic! I thought grabbing lunch outside would be expensive, but buying some goodies from a local supermarket saved me loads, and eating under a tree was so nice.

Check out the bush walk early in the morning around 8am. It's quiet then, and you might spot more wildlife without the crowds
