The Parks Retirement Living

Set amongst tropical, landscaped gardens is The Parks, a welcoming retirement community just 15 minutes from the heart of Cairns. Within the village, it is the lush, tropical gardens and relaxed welcoming atmosphere that makes The Parks truly special. Residents have access to a range of exceptional facilities including an external bowling green, lagoon-style heated swimming pool and spa, billiard room, well-stocked library, gym and community lounge. There are also a host of regular village-organised events and activities on offer such as monthly dinners, exercises classes, and card and bowls tournaments, for those who wish to participate. 

Surrounded by lush bush land and nestled between a pony club and a protected rainforest, The Parks is ideally located. With a major shopping centre just a five minute walk away, all of the day-to-day amenities such as medical services, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants, cinemas, boutiques and more are within easy reach. The village also offers a weekly shopping service in an air-conditioned 25-seater bus which travels further afield to the centre of Cairns’ main shopping district. 

The Parks retirement village manager, Jenny Ball, has recently been awarded the 2017 ‘Manager of the Year’ at the 31st Annual CBWC Business Woman of the Year Awards. Jenny is very proud of her role as Village Manager at The Parks and provides a warm smile and a friendly ear for all residents and guests who visit the village.
