It has
been a meeting place for rallies, family
reunions and birthday parties. Families use
the large grassy areas to fly kites, enjoy
barbeque dinners, or just relax in the
tropical lifestyle.
The Cairns foreshore has been transformed
from a tidal mudflat swamp into a
world-class facility incorporating an
outdoor amphitheatre, a large sandy swimming
lagoon, grassy picnic areas, walking tracks,
public barbeques, children's playground,
shops and restaurants, an environmental
interpretation centre and a Great Barrier
Reef Cruise departure terminal.
The swimming
lagoon is capable of accommodating 1000
swimmers at a time. It is open for free
public use between 6am and 10pm daily.
