Sat at the edge of Christchurch's Porritt Park, this spot is home to the Avon rowing club and was predominantly used as a rowing and kayaking launch. Both the club and the park suffered drastic damage in the 2011 earthquake, with the wooden ramp leading from the shore to the river completely demolished. As of this writing, repairs and assessments were ongoing.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
