Council offices and facilities (including Gladstone Region Pound) will be closed, reopening on Tuesday, 11 August 2026. Gladstone Tondoon Botanic Gardens, Benaraby Landfill, and waste transfer stations will remain open. Bin collection will take place as per a normal Monday.
An assessment has found that the timber boardwalk is in poor structural condition, with significant deterioration to key elements of the structure. Given the extent of deterioration and the inability to safely inspect certain parts of the structure, partial repair is not considered viable. The boardwalk will remain closed to protect public safety while Council considers the next step.
There are several barbecues and shelters, with tables and seating situated throughout the parkland and plenty of open space to enjoy a game of cricket or throw a ball. You can also walk, run, cycle or scooter along the pathways winding throughout the parkland, or opt for a stroll along the boardwalk or along the bush trail to the Boyne River. Children love climbing the spider’s web playground and visiting the nearby botanic wetlands, where wildlife is found in abundance.
The parkland provides easy access to Canoe Point Beach, and visitors also have the benefit of using the conveniently located beach showers and taps in the area.
