Description
The 165ha Hagley Park is a world renowned gem, set aside by visionary city forefathers in the 1850's as an area for recreation, sport and entertainment in the vein of Central Park in New York. It acts as the City's lungs and is a wonderful resource for lunchtime exercise for locals or visitors. A standard run around the perimeter is short enough to easily fit into a lunch hour, but also holds plenty for visiting people.
You can easily extend the distance of this one with a "Figure 8" of North and South Hagley (also a trail directory guide) in fact its possible to find a marathon distance of trails without backtracking on the same bit of path.
The Hagley perimeter gives you a great chance to test your speedwork, or simply amble around and enjoy the greenspace.
