Wilson Botanic Park approaches 30 years

Wilson Botanic Park is inviting locals to pack a picnic to enjoy in the park grounds as the Park celebrates its 30th birthday next month.

Throughout July, the Berwick park will be host to a plethora of activities, including hireable igloos, workshops, guided tours, family events, and live performances.

You can also head up to Ball Park to play two new augmented reality games via the Magical Park app.

A time capsule will be opened at the park on Friday 8 July to celebrate the 30-year milestone.

With 39 hectares to be explored, the park has over 1000 different plants species, with both natives and exotics. You can see over 80 different species of birds as well as turtles, frogs, lizards and snakes.

Families are implored to use the park’s free barbecue facilities, book one of our hireable spaces or grab a bite to eat from the onsite café, Gather: Food, Coffee and Co.
