From Checkpoint, 6:25 pm on 10 September 2019

Aotearoa's biggest demolition job has entered its final stage.

This morning media were given a final chance to walk through Christchurch's Lancaster Park before it is completely brought to the ground.

The park's grandstands were badly damaged in the 2011 earthquake, and in 2017, $12 million was set aside for it be pulled down.

Nicholas Pointon was there.
