Graeme Higham Park

142A Ashmole Rd, Newport, QLD

4.5(6 reviews)

Graeme Higham Park is a multi-faceted recreational space that offers a diverse range of environments for dogs and their owners. The park is characterized by its expansive, open grassy areas which provide ample room for dogs to run off-leash, as evidenced by the active dogs captured in the images. A significant portion of the park is densely populated with mature trees, offering extensive natural shade and a pleasant, forest-like atmosphere for walking. For those who prefer a more secure environment, there is a dedicated fenced area featuring chain-link fencing and internal picnic seating. The park's location along the waterfront is a major highlight, featuring a paved shared-use path and access to a sandy beach area where dogs can play in the sand and water. Additional community facilities include sheltered picnic tables, public BBQ stations, and a children's playground, making it a versatile destination for families. The terrain is mostly flat, with surfaces ranging from well-maintained grass and dirt to sand and concrete pathways. This combination of natural beauty and functional amenities creates a welcoming and high-quality outdoor experience for the local community.
