Open City - Sharing sweet, free things to do
Open City - Sharing sweet, free things to do
Gap Filler and All Right? have teamed up to create a parking meter with a difference in Cathedral Square.
This week our Open City parking meter began issuing tickets displaying inner-city adventures that celebrate the undervalued, sweet, free things to do in Christchurch.
Adventures like a perfect branch to swing on in the Botanic Gardens, checking out a quirky bit of street art, or playing a giant arcade game.
These little secrets and over 50 more have so far been suggested by locals and visitors on the Open City website.
As well as being a great, free family activity for the holidays, Open City is also perfect for the many people who have recently relocated to the inner city for work. Each Open City adventure aligns with one of the Five Ways to Wellbeing - connect, take notice, give, be active and keep learning - actions scientifically-proven to improve wellbeing.
To add your favourite free thing to do in Christchurch to the meter go to www.opencity.org.nz...
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
