Raranga Street in the suburb of Marshland, Christchurch

Raranga Street in Marshland – Raranga means: the art of weaving. In the first stage of the Prestons subdivision. Named by Ngāi Tahu, developer of the subdivision. Named in 2014.

A small amount of information on the library website. All the houses here are on only one side of the street as there a reserve on the other side with a small lake. There is a grassy area and play equipment. There is also gym type of equipment so you can exercise. Personally I prefer to walk for exercise. The houses are all modern ones built in 2014 and 2015 and none stood out for me. There were a couple of businesses and cafes at one end. The footpath was nice and wide so I found it rather weird that two older women decided that they preferred to walk in the middle of the road. I felt sorry for the car driver who had to swerve to avoid them.
