Munro Martin Parklands

Munro Martin Parklands sits on Sheridan Street in Cairns City, in the heart of the tropical-north Queensland hub. A much-loved parkland, it's a beautiful green space and outdoor venue — combining lush tropical gardens, lawns and walking paths with a popular outdoor performance-and-event space, the kind of lovely, well-kept park that's a genuine city highlight.

The appeal is that combination of gorgeous tropical gardens, lovely green space and a great outdoor events venue: wandering the lush grounds, relaxing on the lawns or catching a concert or event in the parklands makes for a lovely time in the heart of Cairns. Its beautiful gardens and role as an events space give it real character, and it's clearly become a beloved part of the city.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 520 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The parklands are generally free and open, but any events, ticketing, opening times and facilities vary — and concerts and events have their own arrangements — so it's worth checking current details before you go, particularly for an event, while taking sun protection in the tropical heat, then enjoying the gardens at Munro Martin Parklands.
