    Developing recreation resources in Timaru and in particular Centennial Park : a research study [dissertation] submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Diploma in Landscape Architecture in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]

    Centennial Park is situated along the western boundary of Timaru City. It was, originally, the source of the basalt rock from which much of the protective sea wall around Timaru harbour was built. Since the purchase of 14.37 hectares from the Timaru Harbour Board in 1934 numerous additions have been made to the Park, and it now covers an area of 53.263 hectares. While very limited development has been carried out since the initial acquisition it is now considered desirable that the full potential of the area be exploited as a recreation resource. The purpose of this study is to: 1. Review the development of recreation and recreation facilities in Timaru and assess the capability of established reserves and the City Council reserve policy to meet the city’s future recreation needs. 2. Assess the amenity value of recreation, and other open space patterns, within the city. 3. Investigate the recreation potential within the city and its immediate environs. 4.
