Reviews
"It is fondly referred to as the bat park. Thousands of bats hang from the trees during the day"
"This is such a fantastic park for parties heaps of room for the kids to run around and awesome trees for them as well. Fenced to keep the younger kids in and a large shade cloth over the main play ground kids always have a great day there. And relaxing for us parents to with coffee shop 100m over beside the library the place is a treat."
"Very nice. The bats look incredible hanging around."
"Beautifully manicured lawns and gardens...you can observe large bats as well"
"Smaller than the botanical gardens around Townsville. Has a small lake with a water fountain, plenty of open green space, relatively quiet further into the park from Thuringowa Drive, has a playground, gazebo, several park benches, plenty of shade and many plants. Conveniently located next to the Kirwan library, and community centre. Only issue is the now-larger section overrun by bats. It's really not fun in that section (nearly half the park). They're noisy, smelly and in their many hundreds. The areas affected by bats has meant the council has effectively closed the section with the lake, and the grass in that area is slashed, not mowed. The footpaths along the bat-area smells atrocious. The other-side of the park seems more welcoming and it's harder to hear the bats there. The playground and library is on that side."
