The Council's Open Spaces Unit manages the publicly-owned open space areas in Selwyn District, in conjunction with local communities and management committees.

Parks, reserves, sports grounds and open spaces provide enjoyment for many. They include sports grounds,  children's playgrounds, picnic and barbecue* areas, camping spots, gardens, scenic areas and places where plants, animals and aspects of our historical and cultural heritage can be protected and displayed for future generations.

Current projects include:

• 5 new reserves in Rolleston

• Management plan for the Liffey Domain in the heart of Lincoln.

• Makeovers for the reserves at Chamberlains' Ford, Coes' Ford and Timberyard Point

Special functions

If you wish to use one of our reserves for a function, such as a wedding, we need your request in writing to:
