Hidden between the beach and the river, this tranquil space offers a chance to slow down and enjoy nature right in the middle of the city.\n\nAs you follow the winding paths, you will come across small bridges, shady trees, and gentle streams flowing through the park. It is a favourite spot for locals who come here to relax, exercise, or enjoy a quiet picnic.\n\nKeep an eye out for the park’s most famous residents, the free-roaming peacocks. Their colourful feathers and confident strut make them a unique part of the park’s charm. You might also spot water dragons, ducks, or native birds like kookaburras and rainbow lorikeets.\n\nOriginally a tidal wetland, this area has been carefully landscaped while still keeping a sense of its natural roots. The sound of birds, rustling leaves, and flowing water makes it easy to forget you are in the heart of the Gold Coast.\n\nMacintosh Island Park is the perfect place to take a break from the city streets, stretch your legs, and enjoy a peaceful moment surrounded by local wildlife and greenery.\n\n","type":"text"}],"ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FcwLzeDLkJCUb25IPupMc%2Ftts_1.mp3?alt=media&token=352cbd78-1f2f-424f-a8ae-a149f9ba355c","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.1619644261854895,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"longitude":153.42757765,"latitude":-27.98561775881451},"address":"Macintosh Island Park"},{"address":"Social House","ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FcwLzeDLkJCUb25IPupMc%2Ftts_2.mp3?alt=media&token=2fc1e46e-cc75-4263-994d-f9d67a0a4814","media":[{"content":{"place_id":"ChIJ6x23Cw0FkWsRLARToilO-sY"},"type":"place"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FcwLzeDLkJCUb25IPupMc%2Fvoco%20Gold%20Coast%20by%20IHG%20(10).png?alt=media&token=69a903e0-c5ca-4529-97cd-8eb85dc8c79a","type":"img"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FcwLzeDLkJCUb25IPupMc%2Fvoco%20Gold%20Coast%20by%20IHG%20(7).png?alt=media&token=a7913261-bc7a-449f-871e-a8c43ba5e612","type":"img"},{"type":"text","content":"Hope you had a great day.
