About this walk
Macintosh Island Park
Thanks to Amber and Kye for sharing this lovely pram walk!
Macintosh Island Park in Surfers Paradise is perfect for families with prams or strollers. This scenic park offers wide paths suitable for toddlers on bikes, picnic spots, and plenty of open space to explore. Walk around the park to enjoy waterfalls, streams, and abundant wildlife, including peacocks, ducks, and geese.
The park connects directly to Surfers Paradise foreshore walks and is just across the bridge from Main Beach, making it easy to combine multiple walking experiences in one outing. Best of all, it’s free to enjoy!
