The atmosphere is remarkably serene, making it an ideal setting for children to have fun. The pristine river that meanders through the heart of the area offers plenty of space for children to swim and play. It is worth noting that parking availability might be limited on weekends, so arriving early is advisable.

A fantastic place to take your dog for a walk and a swim on hot days - plenty of shade and plenty of space, easily the best off-lead park for dogs in the Cairns area! Great for us humans too, the river is beautiful - nice clear water, plenty of facilities and abundant bird life too!
