For visitors
Features which attract the exploring visitor to Blenheim include Riverside Park, a pleasant walk, and Seymour Square with its war memorial clock-tower and fountain surrounded in season by one of the country’s most colourful displays of flowers. A similar display borders the stream in Pollard Park, where there are tennis and croquet lawns, golf and racecourses. The site of the new town reservoir on a sput of the Wither Hills, which form the southern boundary of
the residential area, commands an impressive panorama of mountains, plain, hills, and the waters of Cook Strait. Nowhere else in New Zealand are the chances of a sunlit landscape as great as here, for Blenheim has the highest annual total of sunshine hours more often than any other town in New Zealand. Visitors’ guides obtainable in Blenheim detail the picnic spots and places of interest within easy reach of the town.
