Victoria Park Nature Reserve

When it's time to catch up with friends and family, head to the picturesque Victoria Park picnic area. Here, you can enjoy the peaceful tranquillity of the rainforest in the northern NSW hinterland, only a short drive from Ballina. The adjacent reserve protects one of the last remnants of the original Big Scrub sub-tropical rainforest and makes an excellent backdrop for a relaxing get-together. Spark up the barbecue or unpack the hamper in the cool shade of the bangalow palms, or if you're feeling inspired, cook up a feast at the communal galley. The wheelchair facilities ensure this tropical oasis is a perfect spot for elderly people and groups. After a leisurely picnic, the tranquil Victoria Park boardwalk makes a perfect after lunch stroll.
