Bottle Lake is a suburb in the north-east of Christchurch with a low number of residents. Most of the suburb is covered by Bottle Lake Forest, which has since the mid-1970s become a popular recreation area. The area was known as Waitikiri to Māori and the swamplands around a lake was a traditional mahinga kai (food gathering place).[1] Bottle Lake was first granted for grazing in 1853.[2] The area was bought as a sheep run by John McLean in 1860.[3] He sold the land after only two years to Edward Reece, who named his homestead Waitikiri after the Māori name for the area. Reece commissioned John Gibb to paint Bottle Lake about 20 years after he purchased the land. Reece died in 1885, and the painting was gifted to the Canterbury Society of Arts in 1902 by his son, William Reece. The oil painting is today owned by the Christchurch Art Gallery.[4] Most of the area was purchased in 1878 by Christchurch City Council for waste disposal, but grazing continued into the next century. The pine plantation was begun in 1912, and the land was drained.[2] By the late 1930s, the lake had dried up.[3] The name of the lake was used for other purposes. The hospital board looked for a remote area where an infectious diseases hospital could be set up, and they established the Bottle Lake Hospital. This has since been renamed Burwood Hospital. The road leading to the hospital was originally called Bottle Lake Road and has since been changed to Burwood Road. The suburb that formed around the hospital took its later name—Burwood.[3] The production forest was out of bounds, and the area was virtually unknown to Christchurch people. This changed in 1975, when the forest was given park status. It has since developed into a recreation area, with mountain biking, horse riding, and walking all very popular.[3] There is some housing on the fringes of Bottle Lake Forest, and Waitikiri Drive is a reminder of the area's original name. The former landfill site within Bottle Lake was reopened after the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake to take an estimated 4.5 million tonnes of demolition material.[5] References{{Commons category|Bottle Lake, New Zealand}}1. ^{{cite news |last1=Vangioni |first1=Peter |title=An early impression of Bottle Lake|work=The Press|date=11 January 2016|page=A4}} {{Christchurch City, New Zealand}}{{coord|-43.453|172.695|type:city_region:NZ|display=title}}2. ^1 {{cite web |url= http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/PlaceNames/ChristchurchPlaceNames-A-M.pdf |title=Christchurch Place Names: A - M |last=Harper |first=Margaret |publisher=Christchurch City Libraries |page=38 |accessdate=30 January 2016 |date=December 2015}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |title=Bottle Lake and Waitikiri: the early years |url=http://my.christchurchcitylibraries.com/bottle-lake-waitikiri/ |publisher=Christchurch City Libraries |accessdate=29 January 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=Bottle Lake |url=http://cagtpow.sons.co.nz/collection/objects/69-164/ |publisher=Christchurch Art Gallery |accessdate=29 January 2016 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160130031911/http://cagtpow.sons.co.nz/collection/objects/69-164/ |archivedate=30 January 2016 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite news |last=Heather |first=Ben |title=Park to be a permanent dump |url= http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/christchurch-earthquake-2011/6023446/Park-to-be-a-permanent-dump |accessdate=28 February 2014 | work=The Press |date=24 November 2011}} 1 : Suburbs of Christchurch |
