    A beautiful park in Darwin only 6 km from city centre. Good for beach walking, jogging,cycling,boating,nature walks or just loafing around. Good for birdwatching too.

    This place has it all! An all ability inclusive playground, BBQ's, undercover tables, shady picnic spots, the lake itself is great for swimming at all ages as it tapers of just like a normal beach would the little kids can paddle in the shallows or build castles in the sand. Whilst the big kids can go for a explore around the lake. Its great for paddle boarding and canoes. Great for adults wanting to swim laps with a view. Water is quite salty so goggles are advisable if you are a serious swimmer.

    This lake is free and safe to swim surrounded by parkland, walking, jogging and cycling tracks, the beach, kids playgrounds, free BBQ's and shaded seating areas. Great views back towards the city and across Darwin Harbour, lots of history at the "Gun Turrets" and the Darwin Military Museum on the East Pt Reserve and plenty of access to fish along the coastal rocks. Plenty of parking available, great for swimming, kayaking and safe small boat sailing. Also a great place for local birdlife and animals. Birds, ducks, magpie geece, kytes, hawks & mammals are plentiful.

    Perfect for a free family day out. Clean BBQ area alongside a well shaded playground that is perfect for children of all ages and abilities. The lake is free and safe to swim in, with a slight gradient so you can walk safely in. Plenty of room to play cricket of run freely away from traffic.

    Excellent place for family picnics. Huge green areas with lots of tree shades by the lakeside. There are kidsโ€™ playgrounds, bbq facilities, toilets and parking lots nearby. On the other side of the road, there is a beautiful sandy beach as well. It is definitely a very nice place for a daily visit.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Really great walk in East Point when the tide is out. Lots of trees, crab holes, and mangroves. If the tide is in, you will not be able to make it to the end. It's still a pretty walk, but the end with the mangroves is the best part.
