Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens

Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens is a 33-hectare botanic garden in West Mackay, Queensland, on the edge of the Mackay city centre. Opened in 2003, it showcases flora of the Central Queensland Coast bioregion. The gardens feature themed plant collections, lagoons, boardwalks and walking trails, and serve as a conservation, education and recreation site for the Mackay region.

Visitors can explore landscaped gardens, lagoons and wetlands connected by sealed paths and timber boardwalks. The site includes themed areas such as the Tropical Shade Garden, Regional Forests and Coastal plant displays, open lawns, a lagoon-side cafe and visitor information centre. The setting is flat and tropical, with birdlife, interpretive signage, picnic shelters and shaded seating throughout the gardens.
