Howard Springs Nature Park — Local services in Howard Springs

I visited this park on a weekday so very very few people around. Say about 5 of us in total. It’s a quiet park, about 10 minutes drive from Palmerston NT. You park boasts of various wildlife including different types of fish. It also has swimming area including a toddler’s pool, walking trail and a fascinating playground for those who enjoy a challenge…a lot of people host parties here, particularly, birthdays parties. The only issue I see with this place are the amount of mosquitoes ready to feast on us…so please..if you do go there, pack those repellents. Fill your car up with repellents because you will spend most of your time either blowing mosquitoes off you and chasing them away instead of having a good time. Other than that, the place is amazing: don’t let the mossies stop you…if you want to see an entire video on the park, take a look at my channel link...

There is a wear were you can look at the different types of fish and turtles in the lake and you can feed the barra if you bring some fish food or...

Lovely quiet spot. Great place for picnics! Has play equipment, fish feeding, water feature for kids, flying fox. There is also enough space that you can avoid people and enjoy some quiet time in nature reading a book. Tranquil, but fun. Good hiking trails and a spring.. It could do with a bit more love, I think. It would be great to see some swimming back at Howard Springs. Fish feeding pond looks pretty murky & heavy on algae, needs more fish to eat it? Birds were also very cute. It's definitely worth the short 20-minute drive. Lovely spot, would recommend for a visit. Take a...
