GOLD COAST REGIONAL BOTANIC GARDEN

Public BBQ

The Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens offers a remarkably diverse experience beyond the typical coastal attractions. Spanning open parkland punctuated by serene lakes and boardwalks, the gardens reveal water dragons basking on banks, turtles gliding beneath lily pads, and an impressive array of birdlife. The lake circuit makes for an easy stroll, with reflections shifting beautifully through the seasons and autumn bringing particularly striking colours. Families appreciate the space for picnics and children cycling the pathways, while the sensory garden adds an unexpected tactile dimension. A coffee shop provides refreshments for those extending their visit. Free parking and public toilets complete the practical amenities. Though still recovering from cyclone damage, the gardens maintain their tranquil atmosphere. The council keeps grounds immaculate, and designated areas welcome dogs, though enforcement of restricted zones proves inconsistent. It's a full day's outing waiting to happen, remarkably peaceful given its accessibility.
