Long Live Victoria Park

by Jason Lorch

Victoria Park has always been there for us, we remember spending many hours of our lives there.

We remember the downhill shuttles and late-night digging. We remember hanging with friends and clowning around. We remember all the good times. 

Even when new and shiny chairlift options come, go and will eventually come back again, Victoria Park will always be there for us because it will always belong to us.

Re-Building

Since the fires that ripped through the Port Hills and removed Christchurch Adventure Park, Victoria Park has seen a lot of new “bike park” inspired traffic again. To meet this demand, the idea is to convert “Cool Runnings” into a graded blue jump track and clean up some of the trees and other tracks in the area.

Show your true colours

To help with some of the associated cost that comes with this, we can fund raise some money to go towards the digger and other costs associated with a build. That is why Secret Dog Society wants to help!

Secret Dog Society are stoked to team up with Gravity Canterbury and Texco to create the Vic Park Jersey.  These high-quality jerseys are made in New Zealand and come in long sleeves.

Available in two Canterbury inspired colourways, Black or Red with stripped linework and helping to show your support to the park with a fashionable Victoria Park logo running down the left arm.

How this promotion will work

For every jersey sold, we will donate $20 to Gravity Canterbury to help with the build and any other maintenance that needs to be done.  But, for those that want a more custom feel, you can put your name and/or number on the back of the jersey for only $10 more and we will also donate this $10 to the cause. That means we will be able to donate $20 to $30 per jersey sold!

You can buy these jerseys at www.secretdogsociety.co.nz

Made to Order

All jerseys will be made to order and because of the large donation attached to each jersey, we, unfortunately, can’t hold stock because if we have left over jerseys it will take away from the donations.  This will allow us to give the biggest donation possible!

How long does it take?

All orders will (try) and go to the factory every two weeks or when we have an order of ten jerseys and will take roughly three to five weeks for your jersey to arrive at your delivery address. You will receive an email about when it is going to the factory for manufacturing.

This promotion will run from 12th of June till the end of July!
