Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There is a small playground in the area and some rotundas to sit under. The area is filled with some bamboo and wetlands-type trees (sorry not a botanist- trees with roots that come from the branches above). The houses across the lake all have boats outside them and on real-estate.com it looks like some are worth 10mil+. Fancy.

This large park is well maintained and absolutely beautiful. Situated between Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise it has plenty of space to enjoy activities in the park oir to find a location for some peace and tranquility away from the busy Gold Coast lifestyle

I walked to Cascade Gardens on a cloudy Wednesday afternoon. I read that it was full of waterfalls and water fountains but when I arrived they were not running (bit of a bummer). Regardless, the park was beautifully kept and seemed to be divided into two main sections. One was a densely vegetated area with concrete paths to walk around on. There are beautiful trees, vines, and shrubs that create a perfect home for groups of flying-foxes (a species of bat) that hang out on the high branches and chat to each other during the day and many other birds that fly around doing their daily business. Further south is an area thats has open grassy areas with fewer trees, a park for children (including a swing for wheelchair-bound children) and lots of picnic tables. It was clean, peaceful, and I very much enjoyed walking around, despite no functioning waterfalls. Lots of free parking too.

The Cascade Gardens are one of the best parks on the gold coast, it is in a perfect position, close to Pacific fair, Casino, Conventional Centre and Surfers Paradise.It has a lot to offer for the whole family.It has barbeques, picnic shelters, picnic tables playground ( there is a Liberty Swing for children in wheelchairs ), walking tracks toilets and tap water also a boat ramp. Plenty of shady trees and wild birds, while there you can also visit The Queensland Korean War Memorial and about 100 meters away you can visit the Rotary Kokoda Memorial Wall and Walk. Because of it beauty people even have wedding there. Just a perfect place for a relaxing time.

We stroll down to Cascade Gardens quiet often for a picnic by the water and to feed the local birds and fish.
There is a large grassed area an extensive area beneath the trees to wander through and almost a bush walk into and out of the Gardens. Also, plenty of parking.

We live near the cascade gardens and. Walk through it regularly.. it has a beautiful rainforest to enjoy so many beautiful views it's very tranquil and there are also some fantastic monuments to kokoda track and the Korean War .. lots of nature and my favourite are the water dragons
It's a very large park right next to the Goldcoast highway and the river .. I notice quite a few tourist buses stopping mostly Chinese or Japanese ..it's only 1k from surfers paradise and you can reach it by walking or the tram .. 10 out of 10

This is a relaxed break from the pace of the Gold Coast. Nicely hedged by the canals and a moving tribute to Kokoda are the highlights.
Bats hanging about when we were there too - can be noisy near the Kokoda section.
The trail can be accessed near the entrance road and takes you along the journey of the troops and describes various battles, amazing stories of survival and you get a small sense of what it was like. The memorial tribute is quite stunning with the hand crafted metal formed on the basis of a number of actual photos from the conflict.

This is a nice place for a leisurely walk or even a picnic. It is right in the middle of the hustle and bustle and yet you would not know once you are there as it is a peaceful parkland. If you are lucky you may even get the glimpse of a wedding as it is a very popular place for photos. There is a lovely playground for the children to play, plenty of room for ball games.

The Cascades has been there for at least forty years to my knowledge, and thankfully has been left alone and not 'imporoved' to alter its excellence, which makes them quite unique. The 'cascades' part is flowing little streams with lots of tropical fish in a natural environment. The park like setting is traditional and excellent. A lovely place to spend some time with nature, and relaxing. Particularly good for picnics for families young or old or in between. Most visitors do not see the Cascades but it is well worth the memborable visit.
