Otepuni Invercargill
- Location
- A few minutes’ walk from the city centre, Otepuni Gardens covers 9.4 hectares and encompasses four city blocks.
- Description
Winding pathways along the banks of the Otepuni Stream provide a refreshing break from the city’s central business district.
The gardens were once the main city park, complete with a nursery, display houses and aviaries, but those have now gone, although the charm and beauty of the gardens remain.
Joggers and cyclists, along with walkers, take advantage of the sense of seclusion offered by the gardens, which have been enhanced and hidden by stopbanks to protect the city from flooding.
The gardens give a peaceful sanctuary to city walkers, shoppers and visitors.
