It was named after Ben Bennett, a former Shire Councillor, as a testament to all his outstanding contributions to the local community.

The park is located nearby town, just ten minutes’ walk away, yet when you walk into its lush greens, it gives the feeling like you’re in a remote tropical forest.

Visitors can choose from a dozen walking trails that take you through the park, each of them with its exciting sights and experience. The trails range from 800 metres up to 1,100 metres return, so there’s a trail available for walkers of every fitness ability.

When exploring Ben Bennett Botanical Park, it’s best to begin at the perimeter loop that passes through various vegetation zones. A dense rainforest is found in the middle third. Still, you’ll also encounter vibrant flora such as paperbarks, eucalyptus melaleuca, giant Tallowwood, wet and dry heath, Bribie island pines, and much more.
