Riverway Park

Riverway Park stretches along approximately 11 kilometers of the Ross River, featuring walking paths, swimming lagoons, and sports fields. The park includes gas barbecues, disability access facilities, and extensive parking areas for visitors.

The area began as a military camping reserve before being transformed into the Pioneer Sporting Complex in the 1970s. This conversion followed extensive land preparation and the development of new facilities.

The Pinnacles Gallery within the park hosts contemporary art exhibitions and provides spaces for community engagement and artistic development. Visitors can encounter how local artists use these venues to share their work with the public.

The park features disability access facilities and designated swimming zones for young children. Its wide paths and ample parking make it easy to navigate with families or groups.

The Ngulu Marga Yulga Uriny Games Trail introduces visitors to traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children's games. Interactive stations allow people to learn and try these games as they walk through the park.
