Hagley Park

Hagley Park

Hagley Park is a large public park (1.61 km²) in Christchurch, New Zealand which was created in 1855 by the Provincial Government. According to the government's decree at that time, Hagley Park is "reserved forever as a public park, and shall be open for the recreation and enjoyment of the public."

Hagley Park has frequently been a site for gathering large crowds together: it served as the location for the Great Industrial Exposition of 1882 and the New Zealand International Exhibition in 1906-1907. In recent years, the park has hosted many visiting circuses and open-air concerts.

The Christchurch Botanic Gardens border Hagley Park and contain a collection of beautiful flowers and trees from around the world. The gardens attract many birds to the park, and sightseers frequently visit the park to view the plants and the wildlife.

The south of Hagley Park also contains several netball courts and a heliport for Christchurch Hospital
