Clarevale Street in the suburb of Burwood, Christchurch

Clarevale Street in Burwood – Named after William Arthur “Bill” Clare (1932?-2007). Clare was Waimairi County Council’s reserves superintendent. First appears in street directories in 1977. Information supplied in 2006 by Bob Pritchard, subdivisions officer, Christchurch City Council. A small amount of information from the library website. Not a lot that I can add about the name of the street. Most the houses were built in the 1970s and 1990s. There is a back entrance to Waitakiri Primary School on this street and parking would be a nightmare at 3pm. None of the houses stood out but they were nice and tidy with some lovely gardens. There was also a large reserve here with a playground. I was able to walk to the Travis Swamp Walkway entrance from this reserve. Found a couple of geocaches near here.
