Reviews
"Wonderful place for kids to wander around and meet some new friends. Love the community garden and bee hives. There is free filtered water provided. The toilet is clean. There are lots of features for kids to explore. We would like to come back again to walk the trail! Plenty of parking."
"Start of our trail into chermside reserve. So close to the city yet so peaceful. Filled with amazing bird life and so many wallabies!"
"We visited the centre as part of a school excursion and we were blown away. We all learnt heaps of new facts about insects and our environment. We loved getting to create different types of insects out of clay, getting to see different creatures up close and going exploring ourselves. Our family is excited to go back again. We are so impressed to have such a great free resource so close to home."
"My kids loved the new playground and little nature walk - a 200m easy track where even the littlest people can enjoy). Really well done, with toilets and BBQ facilities and a basketball hoop for the older kids."
"Great place to visit. Bushland centre not open on weekends however lots of picnic tables & soon to be new playground. Fantastic suburban bushwalk - lots of wildlife- bats, birds, butterflies, goanna & wallabies - creeks, formed paths or dirt tracks to follow. We did an 8.5km hike but walks can be as short or as long as you prefer. Family & dog friendly"
