"Cute little park with lots of wild birds, nice little walk"
"Very lovely park for seeing birds, picnics, playgrounds and rest. I even saw peacocks!"
"I simply loved this place. The highlight for me was getting an opportunity to feed the birds and interact with them! There are quite a variety of birds, including peacocks, water birds, and of course, pigeons whom you could feed out of your hand! The beach is a stones throw away, which you can reach by simply crossing the bridge. Lovely place to visit with family and friends. Free parking is available on site."
"stunning park with play ground in heart of our beautiful Gold Coast. many birds around as well as peacocks. give your self the joy of walking along with peacocks and enjoy"
"Macintosh Island Park is a wonderful oasis of a park close to Main Beach, Narrowneck and Surfers Paradise. With plenty of shade amongst the trees, there is a lake, plenty of birdlife (such as peacocks), a play area, picnic tables, all in a peaceful and tranquil location just a short walk from the hustle and bustle of Main Beach and Surfers Paradise. A wonderful place to escape the crowds for an hour or two."
