Let's Talk About Millton Memorial Park Development

We’re looking to further develop Mllton Memorial Park in the grass area north of the dog park. We want to hear your thoughts about a draft Master Plan that has been developed which outlines some new features.

Millton Memorial Park is a reserve that already includes the Rangiora Dog Park, Croquet and Table Bowls Clubs, Park & Ride and a large area of leased grazing land.

We're in the process of developing the reserve and the draft Master Plan is ready for community feedback.

What we're proposing...

• Arboretum: A garden space specialising in both native and exotic specimen trees which grow in Canterbury. This will be a space for scientific research, promoting conservation, and engaging in public outreach and education to protect, appreciate and preserve trees.
• Dog Agility Area: An extension to the dog park where dogs of all sizes can utilise agility equipment. It’s proposed that the Friends of the Dog Park will fundraise for the agility equipment.
• North Canterbury Model Railway Club: An area has been identified for the club to lease and build a new clubrooms/display area.
• Path Network: A pathway linking the reserve, arboretum and dog park into wider walking and cycling trails, especially those in the Ashley/Rakahuri Regional Park.
• Toilet: A toilet is proposed for year 2024/25 of the Council's Long Term Plan.

We welcome your feedback on the suggested features in the Millton Memorial Park draft Master Plan.
