1. Yowie Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 6 reviews
Reviewed By WorldTravla7 - Cairns, Australia
The park is named in honour of an aboriginal Australian folklore being called a Yowie reputed to have roamed the hills of Kilcoy. The yowie is certainly memorable and the yowie statue in the park sticks in my mind from a school excursion out to Somerset Dam back in 1989. It was great to come back and see it 30 years later and take a relaxing walk through the lush green park, and around the lake filled with lillipads & water birds and read the interpretive signage re the history of the area. There is a craft store and historical museum adjacent to the park as well which looked interesting but was closed when I visited.

Muddy's playground is open every day of the year between 9am and 7pm (including public holidays and weekends). Sections of Muddy's are closed for maintenance on Tuesday and Thursday mornings until noon. Even when maintenance works are being carried out, Council aims to have at least half the playground available for use. Muddy's is a modern, fun, safe, splash playground and parkland.

3. Figtree Playground
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 91 reviews
Reviewed By Siegfried2K - Indianapolis, United States
The Figtree Playground is right downtown Cairns. An entire play area has been built in and around this giant tree with many aerial roots (see my picture and others). This is a delightful playground that is perfect for children ages 4-14. Visiting the playground could be a good filler between other activities, or a place to spend some energy when the children need to run. The playground is surrounded by lawn on one side, and a pier with coffee shops and such on the other side. There are no tickets, no staff, no reservations. Just show up and have fun.

This well maintained park is well used as it is beautifully maintained and spacious. So many families use it for picnics, walks, ball games and it also has a great playground for young to mid age lids. We took the grandkids with their skipping ropes and frisbees and they had a fabulous time. The adjoining Kurrawa Surf Club is available for snacks and coffee.
