Federation Park Circuit
Endless green space with contemporary features.
Suitability
Federation Park is suitable for all ages, particularly families and pet owners.
Highlights
Hidden behind the main street of Palmwoods, Federation Park is a large outdoor recreation space.
Take a brisk walk around the 700-metre walkway, circling the park and following the banks of Paynter Creek. As you follow the path, the sheer scale of green open space quickly embraces you. The wide, flat path makes it an ideal location for after school or weekend family rides.
The park includes an outdoor fitness space, fitted with modern equipment to enhance your physical experience.
A fenced dog-off leash area is also available for the community and visitors to exercise their pets. This is a popular location for local dog owners.
With such a large area to take in, why not do a second lap?
