This boat ramp on the Avon River / Ōtākaro in central Christchurch serves as the city's first dedicated canoe and kayak launching point.

Completed as part of Ōtākaro Limited's Avon Loop upgrade — one of the final elements of the Te Papa Ōtākaro/Avon River Precinct Anchor Project — the ramp features rollers and steps for easy entry and exit, along with a stabilised riverbed footing to assist paddlers launching onto the river.

The ramp sits within the broader Avon Loop area, which connects the completed City Promenade to the Residential Red Zone and includes terraced steps, eel habitats, and punt stops designed to bring people closer to the water's edge.
