Ben Bennett Botanical Park

The Ben Bennett Botanical Park features walking tracks which guide visitors through the vegetation communities of Melaleuca and Eucalypt forests, coastal heaths and one of few areas of coastal lowland vine forest.

These ecosystems provide valuable habitat within the urban environment as well as providing opportunities for environmental education. The reserve is a pleasant place to study the delicate beauty of the wildflowers, bird watch or just sit and enjoy a quiet hour on secluded seating provided throughout the reserve.

The initial five-hectares of the park were set aside in 1969 after a former Landsborough Shire councillor initiated the allocation of the reserve as botanical gardens.
