Parks and Gardens

The Fraser Coast has two botanic gardens - one among the oldest in Australia, while the other grows out of 6,000-year-old sand dunes and over 100 other parks, gardens, playgrounds and recreational areas.

Council has a range of parks available for hire. Prior to booking, we recommend you view the available parks in the Fraser Coast park finder.
