Centennial Park Pond, feed the ducks, go for a wander... Centennial Park, Timaru is a former basalt quarry just minutes from the town centre. Known locally as "The Scenic," it was renamed for the centennial of the Treaty of Waitangi. There has been a huge community effort to revive the area supported by Timaru District Council. It features serene walking trails, native bush, a small lake (great for ducks, but not suitable for swimming), and plenty of spots for picnics and birdwatching. There’s a few playgrounds for kids, open spaces for dog walking, and even mountain biking tracks. Perfect for a peaceful stroll, a family outing, or just soaking up nature in the heart of South Canterbury. https://wuhootimaru.co.nz/.../123-centennial-park-pond
