Parks and Gardens
Located just five kilometres from the Mackay City Centre, the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens showcases the beautiful tropical flora from Mackay and the Whitsundays, along with other beautiful Australian native and exotic plants from similar climates around the world.
This young botanic garden opened in 2003 and provides many resources to visitors – from over three kilometres of walking and cycling trails, wetland boardwalks, a unique cafe and gallery perched high above the wildlife filled lagoons, to excellent bird watching opportunities.
Feature gardens include the luxuriant Fernery, the Regional Forest, rare and threatened flora of the tropical Shade Garden and the unique Coal Garden – tracing the evolution of plants and the importance of coal. Interesting art installments and information boards provide additional entertainment during a pleasant stroll.
A cafe provides an array of food and refreshments with indoor and outdoor dining options, overlooking the wetland lagoon.
