Worth a walk around. Surprising large area with plenty to see. There were lots of birds to photograph. The history of the site was payed out on information boards , which was interesting.

Liked the access, selection of trees, parking space,and variety.Did not like the level of mosquitos with no warning for the travellers to be equipped, abulution facility is rather poor, utilisation of this place from local council is questionable . It seems local council is very laid back to lift the image of such lovely garden with lots of effort being done to develop it. Did not like lack of light when it is dark and chance of snake on path way is a possibility.

Have you ever watched Jurassic Park 2? I have, it's a poor sequel. Kershaw Gardens is not a lot like Jurassic Park 2, or probably even the other Jurassic Park installments although I did think about Jurassic Park while I was there. There's a nice waterfall at Kershaw Gardens, worth a bit of a poke around. When I left I found there was a mystery bug on my shoe but it could well have been from anywhere else I'd been earlier that day. Positive experience.

Wonderful parklands with so many different parts. Playgrounds for children, waterfalls, picnic areas. Several carparks and entrances.

We went there for a stroll at the weekend and could enjoy a nice, quiet, time in the sun. Only pain being the proximity of the road which does screw up the relaxing a bit.

The kershaw gardens is a nice place to go whether you are alone or with your family. Nice peaceful paths to walk through and playgrounds at each end for kids. great bike riding paths for the younger kids too

Beautiful walking tracks through shady trees in a very hot climate...a true oasis and now 24 hour stays are allowed there for caravans etc. good on you Rocky council.

Very pretty gardens, lots of shady paths to stroll along with fountains, waterfall and play area.My only grumble would be the two disgusting portaloos - such a pretty place deserves a proper toilet facility.

At the rear of the gardens there is a free camp for self contained RV'sThis wonderful park is a photographers paradise. Lots of flowers, plants, birds, butterflies and a two fantastic waterfall.

Another lovely place to spend outdoors. spacious and areas to hide especially young children. The waterfall or lagoon is a time to look at the odd duck or two or other wildlife. Toilet facilities are quite good as well.

Located just off the Bruce Highway on the northern side of the Fitzroy River, Kershaw Gardens is a well maintained outdoor area that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. There are abundant walking tracks and there is a children's playground. The gardens and lawns are well maintained and the variety of plants and landscapes makes for interesting features. The gardens are relatively flat for easy walking and cycling and are easy to navigate. A very pleasant part of Rockhampton.Thanks for your vote if you found this review helpful.

Recently took my son here bike riding and the gardens are beautiful. We stopped at the section where there are lots of herbs and plants they encourage you to smell and my son enjoyed the experience. There are multiple play areas along the way and lots of walking tracks. Be sure to pack insect repellent and pack your own picnic lunch. At night the waterfall lights up and there are seats where you can sit and eat whilst gazing at it. A beautiful day out that costs nothing.

Walked through the gardens, nicely planned out. Lots of different areas to be, so there is room for everyone. Parking is close, but lighting is poor.
