PARKS

Blackwood River Park

Situated on the banks of the Blackwood River just south of Bridgetown, the River Park is the site of the first police station in 1862. Now a pleasant parkland with river access, walk trails, barbeques, a playground, and toilets, it is an ideal location for a peaceful rest after a day’s touring or a picnic lunch under the trees.

Greenbushes Pool, Greenbushes

The Greenbushes Pool, also known as ‘Greeny Pool’ by the locals, is a spring-fed swimming hole set amongst rehabilitated bushland. The area boasts barbeque facilities, toilets, a playground, a shallow ‘beach’ entry to the water for the littlies and a wooden jetty into the deep water for a more adventurous. This area was upgraded to include a ‘boardwalk’ nature walk around the swimming area which includes information boards on the local flora and fauna. The Greenie Pool is a fantastic day out for all the family.
