Picnic, birdwatch, take in the water views and hold a special event at The Lake Parklands.

The Lake Parklands, also known as Forest Lake Park, covers more than 10 hectares.

The parklands provide an idyllic background for a leisurely stroll, a playdate with friends or a family celebration.

Walk, jog or ride around the lake in the centre of the parklands. Spot turtles, swans, ducks and pelicans along the way. Keen to relax? Rest on a bench, grassy area or under a shelter by the water.

When visiting the park, you’ll also find a nautical-themed playground, barbecues and sporting facilities, including tennis courts and an outdoor gym.
