DIVISION 11 PARKS: OUR HIDDEN GEMS

ROBINA AND VARSITY LAKES BOAST SOME OF THE BEST PUBLIC PARKS ON THE GOLD COAST.

W

hether you visit parks across the city, frequent a few in the area, attend only your local park or don’t venture to public spaces at all – maybe it’s time to discover parks in your neighbourhood that you may be overlooking.

These are the ‘hidden gems’ of our area. The places you may not have thought of that are the perfect backdrop for your next family outing, fitness route, picnic or walk with your pet: NORTH SHORE PARK is a wonderful local neighbourhood park with many facilities including barbecues, drinking fountains, picnic tables, shelters and a playground. More importantly, if you have a little one learning to ride a bike, you can utilise the children’s cycling track complete with road rule signage to show them the ropes in a protected environment. Enjoy everything North Shore Park has to offer at North Shore Avenue, Varsity Lakes.

JACK WILSON PARK with its large open space for lawn games, a fully fenced playground and shelter from the summer heat. This space is perfect for a family gathering or a stroll to escape for some hardearned peace and quiet. Find Jack Wilson Park at 108 Cheltenham Drive, Robina.

ROBINA COMMON often coined ‘just a sports field’ but that could not be any further from the truth. This park hosts a dog off leash exercise area, barbecues, a fully fenced playground, drinking fountains, boat ramp and fitness station. The Common is also home to our successful Robina Braves Baseball and Robina City Soccer Clubs. Find Robina Common at 45 Ron Penhaligon Way, Robina.

VARSITY COLLEGE SCHOOL OVAL is another park you may not know that is Council-owned. This slice of green space with basketball courts, playing fields and a playground is open for community enjoyment after school hours. Check the Varsity College School Oval out on Christine Avenue.

8

LAKE LOMANDRA is a scenic park full of wildlife that is best enjoyed at sunset or for an early morning stroll around the lake. Its wide walkways are ideal for cycling, running or walking too. The kids will be happy with a nice playground conveniently situated next to shelters perfect for a family gathering or a picnic in the park. Find Lake Lomandra on Olympus Drive, Robina.

JIM HARRIS PARK is another great gem of Varsity Lakes. This park is simple but has everything you might need for a weekend game of footy, a stroll with your dog or perhaps even a space to settle under a tree with a good book. This park also boasts a nearby skatepark and a neighbouring community centre with free and low-cost activities for all ages.

Pop on down to check out everything this precinct has to offer at 28 Cassia Drive, Varsity Lakes.

GLENSIDE DRIVE PARK, perhaps the most hidden of all, is home to the new Robina Community Garden. Tucked behind the residential homes is a wide open space with walking paths, great for a morning stroll. Settle in under the picnic setting near the lake, observe the wildlife and perhaps have a chat to a gardener tending to their plot at the community garden. Find Glenside Drive Park at the end of Botanique Terrace, Robina.

ROBINA LIONS CLUB PARK a lovely park with plenty of shade, walking paths, bird life and bench seating to enjoy the view. The park also boasts a shaded playground for the kids to enjoy on those warm summer afternoons. Enjoy a stroll through the shaded archways and find Robina Lions Club Park at 14a Peach Drive, Robina.

Keeping our local parks and facilities well maintained for community enjoyment ranks high on my to-do list. If ever you feel there’s a local park being let down, please get in touch.

Swap Screen Time For Green Time With The Nature Passport THE GOLD COAST IS ONE OF THE MOST BIODIVERSE CITIES IN AUSTRALIA WITH SO MANY UNIQUE PLACES TO EXPLORE.

S

o, here at We Are Gold Coast, we’re encouraging families to swap screen time for green time and discover some of these wonderful outdoor places, right on our doorstep.

We’re sharing a few of our favourite missions

from the Gold Coast Nature Passport; a passport that challenges children to get outside, get creative and complete ‘green’ missions.

The best part is that it’s free, designed for young families and supports long-term development and learning. Everybody is a winner!

BURLEIGH HEAD NATIONAL PARK – GC MISSION: SEARCH FOR THE GIANT’S FINGERS The traditional name for Burleigh Headland is Jellurgal. From the headland’s highest point, long pencil shaped rocks can be seen sticking out towards the ocean. The Kombumerri legend says that these rocks are the fingers of the giant Jabereen, Jellurgal’s creator. Can you find the giant’s fingers?

child should do before they’re 12.? a ABOUT THE GOLD COAST NATURE PASSPORT Did you know that ‘nature play’ promotes health benefits, including cognitive, social and emotional development, and it builds resilience and creativity in our children?

It is for this reason that Nature Play Queensland exists, and why the City of Gold Coast has partnered up to develop the Gold Coast Nature Passport.

The Passport makes getting outdoors and into nature as easy as possible, increasing the time that families spend in unstructured play.

It also provides an opportunity for people to discover the amazing biodiversity on the Gold Coast.

You will need your senses of smell, touch, taste, sight and hearing for this mission. Explore the Sensory Garden and the Butterfly Garden. What did your senses find?

Most Instagram-Worthy Nature Walks On The Gold Coast WITH ITS ENVIABLE CLIMATE, WORLD-CLASS BEACHES AND NATURAL BEAUTY, THE GOLD COAST IS A HAVEN FOR INSTAGRAMMERS WANTING TO TAKE PHOTOS OF PICTURESQUE NATURE WALKS. If you’re not sure where to go first, why not start with these 10 amazing scenic spots that are sure to start a ‘like’ frenzy in your feed.

Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area, Rain Tree Glen, Coombabah You’ll capture kangaroos and wallabies lounging in groups or jumping across the field and if you look up and zoom in you’ll be sure to spot koalas nestled in large Eucalypts. This reserve has a long boardwalk with trees towering above and plenty of native birds. Don’t leave home without mozzie insect spray.

Canyon Lookout, Springbrook National Park Expect plenty of attention when posting photos from this lookout. You’ll see the spectacular views of the valleys created by erosion, the superb Twin and Rainbow falls, the sheer walls of The Canyon and the ocean beyond. This lookout is a MUST for waterfall chasers. You must also visit the nearby Best of All Lookout, a 15min walk through ancient Gondwana Rainforest to stunning views across Mt Warning and beyond to Bryon Bay. You can also find more guided walks and adventures through the NaturallyGC program.

49

Clagiraba Creek Trail, Lower Beechmont Various shades of green anoint the subtropical rainforest on this trail and gnarled trees and textured ferns make great macro shots. The clear-flowing Clagiraba Creek attracts freshwater fish, turtles and you might chance upon the endangered cascade tree frog. Pack a jacket in cooler months.

Apple Tree Park, Springbrook An abundance of giant trees and lush green ferns will dwarf you and curious birds such as kookaburras rest on the low branches giving you the opportunity to snap a great selfie. The park is the mid-way point for the Gold Coast Hinterland Great Walk, a 54-kilometre trek through the beautiful Springbrook and Lamington Plateau rainforest.

Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens With native flowers, roses in every colour, bird life, a giant bamboo forest and a lake with eels, you’ll be here for hours shooting various flora and fauna. If you love taking photos of reflections and water features, this is definitely an Instagram-worthy spot. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #wearegoldcoast.

Hinze Dam As well as picturesque water views across the dam and it’s rocky surrounds, you can take action shots of horse riders and mountain bikers as they race along purpose built trails. The dam itself is magnificent sight, especially when water is cascading over the spillway. There’s an onsite cafe and restaurant and amenities. Pack a jacket as the wind tends to whip across the lake.

50

Bochow Park, Numinbah Here you’ll capture mountain views as well as grassy shots in a large open area, and there’s even a swimming hole to photograph swimmers in summer. It also has a playground to photograph kids at play among nature.

If you’re super lucky or patient you might see a playful platypus.

Pine Ridge Conservation Park, Runaway Bay In spring you’ll come across a visual symphony when the wild flowers of the coastal heath come to life. Floral lovers can snap banksia, boronia and the wallum wedge pea in late winter and spring, especially after decent autumn rainfalls. Flower lovers won’t be disappointed.

Long Tan Park, corner of Bains and Currumbin Creek Roads, Currumbin Valley A picturesque and old one-lane bridge is sure to pique interest from your Instagram followers because it oozes charm and is set among mossy rocks, lush greenery and an old rope swing. Why not go off track, being mindful of native plants, to capture the bridge at another angle.

Syd Duncan Park, Lower Beechmont A great spot at sunrise and sunset to capture views over Hinze Dam, green hills and the coastline, this park is also the perfect backdrop for family photos. For nature walk lovers it’s a stunning spot to capture the essence of the Gold Coast and its surrounds; so sit back and watch your ‘like’ count grow when posting images from this park.
