Ashburton Domain
Ashburton, Canterbury
About
The Domain is located within walking distance from the Ashburton town centre and most of our schools.
A wide range of sports are played at the domain, including cricket, football, bowls, tennis, hockey and croquet all being played.
For the children we have a paddling pool which is open during the warmer months. The paddling pool is covered with a shade sail to protect from the harsh summer sun. Next to the paddling pool is a small playground for pre-schoolers. We also have a track which can be used by small children learning to ride their bikes or older children on skateboards or roller skates.
The Ashburton Domain also boasts a flagship playground with modern state of the art equipment alongside children's favourites such as slides and swings.
For the people who want a more energetic lifestyle there is also a fitness track around the domain with set exercises at different points.
