North Coast Regional Botanic Garden
A free botanic garden beside a creek in town, with a mangrove boardwalk, rainforest zones and a new glasshouse showing plants of Australia's east coast.
The North Coast Regional Botanic Garden covers about 20 hectares beside Coffs Creek and is maintained with the help of volunteers. It is divided into rainforest, mangrove, Chinese and Japanese gardens, among other areas, and showcases endangered plants of the North Coast of New South Wales. A tropical glasshouse was added in 2022. Its trails connect with the Coffs Creek walking track, which you can follow all the way to the seafront jetty. Entry is free, and it is ideal for an early morning stroll or birdwatching. It is about a 10-minute walk from the city centre.
