Allen-Phillips Park

Welcome to Allen-Phillips Park, a vibrant establishment located in Edmonton, Melvin Close, Australia. As a park and point of interest, we offer a wide range of activities and events that will captivate and entertain visitors of all ages.

Immerse yourself in a kaleidoscope of culture, arts, music, comedy, visual arts, and family events during our exciting festival, taking place from Friday 25 August to Sunday 3 September. This is the perfect opportunity to explore and celebrate the diverse talents and creativity of our community.

For those looking to expand their furry family, don't miss our Dog Adoption Day on Saturday 2 September at the Aeroglen Dog Park. Discover your new best friend and provide a loving home to a deserving canine companion.

If you have a passion for sustainability and treasure hunting, join us at the Trash to Treasure Fair on Saturday 2 September 2023 from 9am-1pm at the Buy Back Shop, Portsmith. This event offers a unique opportunity to find hidden gems and repurpose items while contributing to a greener future.

Please note that the Cairns Festival Grand Parade will not be rescheduled this year, as advised by the council. However, there are still plenty of other exciting events and activities to enjoy throughout the festival period.

In recognition of the late Stan Marsh's contributions to our community, the council is considering naming the pavilion in Norman Park, Gordonvale, in his honor. This gesture reflects our appreciation for individuals who have made a lasting impact on our region.

We also want to highlight our commitment to environmental stewardship. During the launch of Clean Up Cairns, we collected approximately 10,350 cigarette butts from three city streets. This event marks our dedication to keeping our city clean and preserving its natural beauty.
