Christchurch school pupils keen to lift spirits with wasteland adventure zone

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Primary school pupils are driving plans for an adventure park in Christchurch's red zone to "lift the community" still affected by the city's earthquakes.

If approved, Adventure Ave would be built be on unused land north of Woodchester Ave in Richmond. It would offer plenty of green space, outdoor activities such as featuring swings, bike tracks, tree huts, and a food court.

The project still faces several hurdles, including an estimated $30,000 built cost and rules limiting transitional projects in the red zone to a five-year lease.
