So many ways to walk around the park, either across bridges, across rocks, along paths, boardwalks, around ponds and grassed paths. I've lived here for 20 years and this is only the second time here. Had a Fab morning with friends and even got caught in the rain. I'll be back and it won't take me another 20. So many birds, wildlife, flowers to see and just to enjoy the sounds of nature around you. There are covered tables and chairs to enjoy a bite to eat. Its easy just to spend a few hours over a cuppa watching nature. There's also toilets to use at beginning of park.

I guess I expected directional walking trails with distances written on a post with arrows. Instead there were posts with arrows to streets. I didn't follow them because I wanted to walk around, not leave the area. I more or less wandered aimlessly without really going very far and then I saw a map under the shelter shed. 2 very cute, friendly magpies met me, helped themselves to my lunch and saw me off. I hope you see them on my next visit. Quite a lovely little area.

All paths and areas seem to have been updated. It's so pleasant walking through the nature. Hearing the wind through the trees. Seeing the ducks and geese waddle past. The water is regularly cleared from weed. The signs in front of the trees are great telling me what is what! The Baldwin gets a 10/10 for just being a cool place to go for a walk and a chill out. With seats pretty much anywhere. Toilets and a big playground near lake Ellen for the kids

Baldwin Swamp is a hidden gem in the heart of Bundaberg, a place where nature lovers can enjoy the beauty and diversity of wetlands, forests and grasslands. It is a haven for birdwatchers, with over 150 species of birds recorded in the park, including waterbirds, raptors, parrots, cuckoos, kingfishers and more. You can walk or bike along the trails that wind through the different habitats, and admire the views of the ponds and waterways. You can also learn about the history and culture of the area at the Lake Ellen Heritage Hub, which features interpretive signs and artworks . Baldwin Swamp is a perfect spot for a picnic, with plenty of shade and barbecue facilities available. It is a peaceful and relaxing place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and reconnect with nature. I highly recommend visiting Baldwin Swamp if you are looking for a unique and enjoyable experience...

Great place for a walk amongst patches of woodland with tracks around a series of freshwater wetlands. Paths are easy to manage even with kids. There are picnic tables, a large children's playground and a shelter shed with toilets within the park.

The habitat attracts numerous waterfowl and provides a green haven conveniently close to town. Sometimes the floating water weed Salvinia chokes the pond but currently this seems under control. It's a wonderful place to stroll through, relax and listen to bird song at present as many of the eucalyptus trees...
