Check out the serene lakes at our park! The upper lake gradually drains into the lower lake while a pump returns water to the upper lake, creating a peaceful water cycle.
The lakes are home to lilies, little fish and ducks, offering a tranquil backdrop for visitors to unwind. The beauty of these water bodies is truly mesmerising.
The Lakes Park Playground
Family-friendly amenities such as playgrounds, picnic areas, and barbecue pits are available, making the park a popular destination for gatherings and outings. It’s always lively at the Lakes Park.
The playground has various play equipment designed to amuse children of all ages. There is also shade cloth above the equipment to protect the skin of our little ones.
The Lakes Park Fishing
There are a number of good fishing spots in and around Cairns. However, these lakes are not one of them. Indeed, the name ‘lakes’ can be a bit misleading and ‘ponds’ would be a better description of these water bodies. Although the park isn’t ideal for fishing, you may catch some small miners, but not more here.
