Great for a walk with good views of Darwin Harbour. If you like a run, don’t miss the free Parkrun every Saturday morning at 7am (before it gets too hot!). It starts just near the main car park.
Holiday with family. Amazing, beautiful place. Have on Yr walking shoes and a drink at all times. Take a packed lunch and find a table in the shade. Loved it.
Beautiful place to take in the breeze. Great binge/ walking path. Open and safe.

HOWARD SPRINGS NATURE PARK REVIEWS
What a pleasant surprise this reserve is even though being refurbished August 23. Lots of shade, wildlife such as birds and the huge Water Monitor lizard. We saw 3 of them. A great short bush trail as well and a place to have a dip (toddlers pool) which is pretty good Monday to Friday when kids are at school. Certainly worth the visit.
What a beautiful place to come for a picnic and cool off. The big trees provide that perfect shade to sit and enjoy nature's pleasures. Wander through many walking tracks or sit and enjoy quiet time by the water . Cool off under the water feature or little pools . A great free venue .
Quite a tranquil setting for a BBQ or fun day out with the family. Lots of huge barramundi in the dam that you can feed. Very exciting as they are enormous. Well worth a visit.
