 Summer swimming fun |

On those hot summer days, Jellie Park Aqualand transforms into a suburban oasis, just a seven-minute drive from the central city. Outside, the complex contains a large, children's pool, diving pool, and a host of water slides, including the infamous jet slides, which hurtle you down at tremendous speed. In drier parts, large grassy lawns and shaded picnic areas can accommodate the whole family for a variety-packed day out. However Jellie Park is not only a summer proposition--the complex includes an indoor-swimming pool, spa and gymnasium. Buses regularly travel in the region making Jellie Park a very accessible day of fun. Check website for further details. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Commonwealth Games masterpiece |
171 Travis Road New Brighton Christchurch 8006 New Zealand +64 3 941 6849 http://www.qeiipark.org.nz |
Originally built in 1973, Queen Elizabeth II Park was the focal point of the 1974 Commonwealth Games. The stadium is the second largest in the city and hosts major athletics events, outdoor concerts and sporting fixtures. Most recently it was home to a pool of teams in the Under-17 Soccer World Cup. The aquatic centre is of Olympic quality. Major swimming and diving meets are held in the centre, as well as less well known sports such as water polo and underwater hockey. The complex is also fun for the kids with twin water slides, a learning pool and cafe. Review © 2007, Wcities |
