Discover Palmwoods: Town Walk, Park and Swimming Pool

Explore Palmwoods through several distinct themes: the Town Walk, which includes the Skate Park, the Palmwoods Aquatic Centre, Piccabeen Green, and local history and dining. To plan your stay, you can start by sorting your options by interest: are you mainly looking for a route with a skateboarding focus, swimming facilities and classes, or a green space with seating? The places and details below give you specific starting points for getting to know Palmwoods as a destination and then searching for a hotel that suits you.

Town Walk and Skate Park

The Palmwoods Town Walk starts at Piccabean Park, described as the official Town Square, and passes the Palmwoods Skate Park. This makes it easy to understand the walk in terms of its starting point at the Town Square and its route past the Skate Park; the suitability information applies to the skate features. These are considered suitable for beginners and advanced beginners. If you plan to take the Town Walk, check the council’s current trail information beforehand, as trail facilities can change.

Swimming at the Palmwoods Aquatic Centre

The Palmwoods Aquatic Centre offers a different focus, with swimming pools and programmes at its heart. Facilities include a heated indoor pool, a heated 25-metre pool with a covered spectator grandstand, and a wading pool. Offerings include swimming lessons for infants through to mini squads, adult groups, adult technique lessons, and aqua aerobics for all fitness levels. When planning, you can consider the pools and classes as different options: a particular pool may be important to you, or you may prefer to choose a class or aqua aerobics. Facility details and programmes can change, so check the latest information if a particular offering is important to your stay.

Piccabeen Green: green space and paths

Piccabeen Green is next to Palmwoods Memorial Hall, between Main Street, Little Main Street and Margaret Street. The Memorial Hall and the three streets provide specific landmarks to help you find your way. Facilities include a community lawn, seating, natural shade, a boardwalk and connecting footpaths. Unlike the Aquatic Centre, the focus here is on green space, shade and paths, while pools and programmes are at the centre of the Aquatic Centre. This can help you choose between a park with a lawn and paths and the Aquatic Centre’s swimming facilities when planning your day.

Local history, interior design and cafés

Palmwoods was originally known as “Merriman's Flat”; this was also the name of the Kuskopf family’s property. The former name offers a historical point of reference, distinct from the places and facilities known by their current names.

At Rick’s Garage, the walls and ceiling are decorated with old posters and classic memorabilia. This specific interior detail offers a different point of interest from the green space and swimming facilities. Cafés in Palmwoods include Homegrown Café and One Weird Dog Brunch & Gelato Bar. Before visiting, check whether the café information is still current, as café listings can change.
