4.5Penguin Foreshore(121 reviews) - Don't miss Penguin Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent 2-3 hours Parks • Playgrounds
Penguin is just so lovely. We wish we were staying there. Don't miss it if you are on the north coast of Tasmania. And don't miss seeing the Penguin Uniting Church. A guide was leaving as I started to take photos of the exterior and she reopened the church to show us the great interior. You can find the Penguin Uniting Church online.See more..
4.5Burnie Park(40 reviews) - Stunning Public Space Spent < 1 hour Parks • Playgrounds
What a delightful place. Originally the home of William Henry Oldaker, a place he called Avon, it has Shorewell creek running through it. The park is hilly but the Council have done an outstanding job not only setting it up but also maintaining it. Lots of seats and places to just plonk. Lots of thick grass to lay on. Plenty of up to the minute kids equipment. Off street parking to unload the kids. BBQs, shelters, a performance shell set into the side of the hill ... and oh, the waterfall! Oldaker Falls is at the top of the park and is reached by an easy walking track, with the water from the falls running beside you as you approach. Not many city park can boast a waterfall. Also contained with in the park is the 175 year old Burnie Inn: the oldest remaining building after white settlement. Naturally, it was a pub. It was moved to the park in 1973 and preserved. One of the most outstanding council parks I have visited.See more..
One of the best playgrounds in northern Tasmania. We stopped with a 2 and 4 year old and had a great time. Fenced and unfenced play equipment, old steam train to explore, ducks, toilets and nice river walk. See more..

Beauty Point like it's name is an exceptional part of the coast... Not too far from Seahorse World and Platypus House is this lovely foreshore. There is a children's playground there and a fantastic undercover picnic area- this is actually quite large. You could probably have an event in there like a children's birthday party... or well... any birthday party. The views are lovely... and it's right on the edge of the water.See more..
3.0King George V Park(1 review) - Regally named Parks • Gardens • Playgrounds
So who was King George V? He was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936. Born during the reign of his grandmother Queen Victoria, George was third in the line of succession behind his father, Prince Albert Edward, and his own elder brother, Prince Albert Victor. From 1877 to 1892, George served in the Royal Navy, until the unexpected death of his elder brother in early 1892 put him directly in line for the throne. On the death of Victoria in 1901, George's father ascended the throne as Edward VII, and George was created Prince of Wales. He became king-emperor on his father's death in 1910. So where is it? It is a little hidden behind the shops on the Main Street... and if you turn into High Street you will see a carpark there ... if you park , you can go through a stroll. It does have the mosaic park... and some amazing pioneer memorials. There are public toilets, a playground, a BBQ, picnic tables and lovely established trees.See more..
