Adventure: Gary Evans Walkway (1.3km one-way length)

A pleasant surprise in the heart of Nambour – the paved walkway follows the banks of Petrie Creek and makes for a shady old-growth stroll.

Highlights

Starting at Petrie Park Road and ending at Carter Road, the Gary Evans Walkway is approximately a 20-minute walk.  

The paved walkway follows along Petrie Creek, with plenty of seating, shading and large open green spaces to picnic along the way. The short walk provides the perfect setting for local families‍ and visitors.

The walkway is also home to the Model Railway Park and if you're lucky you will hear the toot-tooting in the distance as the Mini Train Rides circle the tracks on the fourth Sunday of the month. See the website for all the details at https://scrms.com.au . 

For those looking to increase their heart rate, you can create your own exercise routine on the outdoor gym equipment and get fit outside for free.

For our furry family friends, there is a large off-leash park for them to run free (please obey the signs). This can be found along Petrie Park Road, on one half of the sporting field. 

And don’t forgot to keep an eye out for the water dragons, who are often found relaxing in the sun along the pathways! 

Afterwards

Head into town for a coffee at one of the many local cafes, then take a short walk to the Nambour Aquatic Centre or Nambour Skate Park with the kids.

How to get there

Travelling along Currie Street, turn onto Price Street, and then take the next right onto Petrie Park Road (look for the clubhouse). Parking is available along Petrie Park Road.
