Parks & Gardens
Sometimes you just need to stop for a while
Sometimes you just need a patch of grass, a shady tree and a good excuse to stop for a while.
Across the Bundaberg and North Burnett region you’ll find parks and gardens made for exactly that. They’re perfect for stretching your legs, letting the kids run wild, breathing in the clean country air and, yes, finding a very welcome public loo when the road trip demands it.
Pull over, wander in and stay as long as you like.
Parks and
Gardens
Our parks and gardens are where locals come to play, picnic and press pause for a bit.
From big green lawns and shady trees to more formal spaces, playgrounds and skateparks for the kids to barbecues by the beach, they are ready for action. Find your favourite along rivers and creeks, tucked into country towns where the pace is pleasantly slow, or beside the yellow sands of beaches along the coastline.
Kick a ball, unpack the picnic, let the kids / dog / hubby burn off some energy and enjoy a breather before the next adventure. And if the road trip calls for a comfort stop… well, these places have you covered there too
