Ilam Field closure

Ilam Fields are private grounds and for the safety of our community, the University decided to close them for any type of training or recreation during the Alert Level 4 lockdown.

While we allow persons to cross the fields (walking or running) during daily exercise, we are actively discouraging members of the University community and local residents from using the space for any other purpose.

Please do not be offended if UC Security ask you to move along – these actions allow the team to reduce the chance of community transfer of the COVID-19 virus.

To date, UC Security have had to remove a number of groups training in a number of different sports from the fields, as they are in breach of the Alert Level 4 / Lockdown rules advised by the government.

We anticipate this process to remain in place following the move to Alert Level 3 next week but will advise staff and students of any changes to this advice, as it comes to hand.

Please continue to stay safe, and look after each other.

Update: Uni-Cycle work, Ilam Fields

Christchurch City Council is continuing construction work on the Uni-Cycle path on Ilam Fields.

Construction on the first section of the path, from Waimairi Road, has been completed and sealed. The middle section of the path is expected to be sealed by Wednesday (5 April) – weather dependent. In the meantime, work has started on the last section of the path between the tennis courts and Ilam Road.

Those travelling across Ilam fields should use the following routes.

  • Travelling between Ilam and Dovedale
    Use the route on the south side of the work site (see blue markings on the map below) – this joins up with the first section of the path that has been sealed from Waimairi Road.
  • Travelling to University Hall
    Use the route on the north side of the work site (see orange markings on the map below) – this joins up with the tennis courts.

Please take care when travelling through the area.
