Centennial Park

Centennial Park, aka The Scenic, is a large reserve in the middle of Timaru City with acres of parkland dedicated to shared use tracks, and mountain bike trails.

A variety of tracks span out around the park to offer a fantastic range of trails for walkers, runners, mountain bikers and amblers. Some of the tracks are shared use for walkers and bikers, while others are exclusively for mountain bikers and cover a range of terrains, for bikers of all abilities.

In the heart of the park, you’ll find the Centennial Park Lake recreational area. It has ample parking for cars, an expansive sheltered picnic area, BBQs, children’s playgrounds and toilet facilities. It's also the starting point for an orienteering course.

Maps of the mountain bike trails can be found at the northern and southern entrances, along with car parking areas.

A BMX freestyle park is located by the suspension bridge over Otipua Creek that can be accessed from either the middle or southern entry points. Car parking is possible alongside the bridge.

Do the full loop, discover the less mainstream side tracks, or just opt for half for a shorter walk.

Perfect for walking your dog too!
