Park Info
Discovery Parks - Mackay, where the only thing more tropical than the climate is probably your drink with that little umbrella in it. Just a stone's throw from Mackay Marina and the CBD, it's the ultimate holiday spot—close to everything, yet far from ordinary.
Beaches that make you go "wow", rainforests that give Tarzan a run for his money, and a marina precinct that’s basically an Instagram playground. Pack those walking shoes, 'cause there’s plenty to see and do. But hey, if you'd rather loaf around (zero judgment), our splash park is kiddo nirvana, and the pool’s just waiting for you. Mini-golf? Yep, got that covered too. It’s like a playground for all sizes of humans.
What about accommodation? Well, solo journey or couple's retreat? Get cosy in a cabin for two. Rolling with the fam? There's a six-berth cabin oozing those ‘home away from home’ vibes. So, if you’re looking to chase the sun, and basically win, Discovery Parks - Mackay's the spot.
