Redcliffe Botanic Gardens
Originally beginning life as a distinctly un-glamorous cow paddock, Redcliffe Botanic Gardens is now a beautiful and picturesque spot designed for families. The Council, alongside hard-working community groups, worked tirelessly to completely transform this place into a great FREE destination for families living in and visiting the region.
There are a number of shelters, facilities (bathrooms and drinking fountains) and plenty of places to spread out a picnic garden and relax. It’s a top spot!
