Introducing Glenoma Park
Glenoma park is a scenic tropical oasis in the Cairns suburb of Brinsmead. It is surrounded by many beautiful mature trees that line Freshwater Creek, which borders the park.
Glenoma Park Map
Located on the Western Arterial in Brinsmead, this park is easy to access. Travelling north, simply take the first left after passing the Loridan Drive traffic lights and the Cool Waters Caravan Park. Glenoma lies on an extensive cycle and pedestrian network and has car spaces as well.

Flooding
The park will flood during the wet season. This happens during torrential tropical downpours when Freshwater Creek breaks its banks.
Fortunately the park is only underwater for a few days each year. However, for the balance of the year it is an enjoyable green space that is available to the community.
Glenoma Park Public Toilets
There are public toilets at the entry to the park, not far from the carpark. This much appreciated public convenience is listed on the national public toilet map. It has wheelchair access and is open during daylight hours.
Dogs at Glenoma Park
Dogs are allowed to be walked on leads at the park. However, they are not allowed to be off-lead while at the park. Dog owners are also required to collect any dog poo from their animals. Indeed the local Council imposes on-the-spot fines for dog owners not adhering to these rules.
Glenoma parkrun volunteer
Glenoma parkrun is a FREE weekly 5k event for participants of all standards, which takes place every Saturday at 7:00am in Glenoma Park, Brinsmead Road, Brinsmead, Cairns, QLD 4870.
It offers an opportunity for all the local community, regardless of age or gender, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy the outdoors and get physically active. We want to encourage people to run, jog, walk and volunteer together – this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is FREE!
Taking part is easy – just register before your first ever parkrun. The great thing is that you only ever need to do this once! Then just set your alarm for Saturday morning and get yourself there!
Glenoma Park Events
If you want to hold an event at the park you need to book with the Cairns Regional Council to secure a particular shelter and a table. Otherwise you just have to take what you can get on the day.
