National Parks and Reserves
Pine Ridge Conservation Park
Pine Ridge Conservation Park protects one of the last remaining wallum banksia stands on the Gold Coast. In this small, virtually untouched and interesting park, visitors can escape the city's hustle and bustle. In late winter and spring, enjoy the flush of wildflowers, especially after good autumn rains. Along the boundary walking track notice the park's varied plants, such as tall bloodwood trees, heath and paperbark swamp forests. Remember the binoculars for watching wildlife. Camping is not allowed in the park, but a picnic area is available for those wanting to enjoy a whole day out.
