👍👍 My family visited this place on June 3, 2022. This is an amazing free outdoor swimming pool that is really huge!!! There is a sandy beach, so even elementary school children can have a lot of fun. There is also a McDonald's nearby! Our children were happy and very satisfied! If you are visiting Cair...

Historic grounds with Spanish-inspired buildings, a vintage hydroelectric generator & waterfalls.

👍👍 This is one of the best parks in Cairns. It is fantastic for children to enjoy and having access to Freshwater Creek makes it such a beautiful spot.

Rainforest habitat with waterfalls & ponds, sheltering macaws, rainbow lorikeets & cockatoos.

👍 Madja is a loop track that starts right on the highway, about 3/4 of the way from the ferry to Cape Tribulation. It's a nice, easy flat walk on a boardwalk and graded track, which for the most park follows a mangrove swamp, with glimpses of the river. If the tide is out, that makes it not that sceni...

👍👍 Nice park in Cairns, just north of the CBD, and a block or two inland from the hospital. In between Grafton and Sheridan Streets. Multi-purpose, with a big stage in the middle and grass seating to enjoy the odd performances. At the northern end of the park, more trees and shrubs. Park is gated....

👍👍 Another great place to swim. Beautiful crystal clear water, soft sandy bottom & cool water. Easy access to the water via built stairs. Parking is a little limited but easy to find. Large area for picnics or playing around. Beware of the Marsh (Horse) flies.

👍👍 Nice shady foreshore with a park at each end and modern toilets. Flags and stinger net at peak times and a couple of the walkways to the beach are accessible for people with mobility issues (soft sand at end though).

👍👍 Very good fishing spot, but the appearance of crocodiles is very common, as well as large turtles.

Camping park with huge granite boulders, a creek for swimming & canoeing, plus tame rock wallabies.

Conservation park featuring a boardwalk, grills, picnic tables & an array of plants & animals.

Leafy park at Four Mile Beach with a playground, BBQ grills, restrooms/showers & kite-surf rentals.

👍👍 Amazing mtb park. Plenty of variety and types of trails from jumps to rooty/rocky tech to flow with varying dirt types. I spent a few days riding just about everything bar some of green trails on my ebike which was pretty helpful in my opinion given it's a non shuttle park with some big climbs. Just...

👍👍 Great views and a good picnic table if you want to draw or paint some beautiful scenery

Primarily rainforest, this tranquil conservation park offers walking tracks with scenic viewpoints.

👍👍 Rex Smeal Park is a beautiful place to bring a picnic lunch, walk around, stare in wonder at the giant fig trees or simply sit and admire the views and the passing marine traffic. You can soak up the sun, enjoy a good book or just appreciate people making the most of this tranquil location. The park...
