The Lake Parklands
Forest Lake
The Lake Parklands is an idyllic spot to enjoy nature, with plenty of picnic areas and playgrounds dotted alongside picturesque Forest Lake.
A gentle 2.5 km walking track meanders around Forest Lake, which is also a peaceful wildlife refuge. Wildlife of all kinds call Forest Lake Parklands home - from swans and turtles, to ducks and pelicans, all kinds of native animals can be found in this peaceful setting.
A highlight for families are the numerous playgrounds and thoughtfully placed seats with views across the water. There is a popular boat-themed playground located at the northern end of Forest Lake, which also has swings, slides, giant climbing web and water-cycle awareness activities. Children will spend hours pretending to steer the ship while gazing across the lake.
The parklands also feature an open air ampitheatre, stage area, fitness circuit, jetty and duck viewing platform.
In a nutshell - Relax beside the tranquil lakeside parklands, take the family to the boat-themed park or enjoy a walk in nature observing the abundant native wildlife.
Nice to know - Forest Lake Shopping Centre is located close to Forest Lake and Simple Bliss Coffee serve excellent dine in or take away coffee from a deck overlooking the lake.
