Currimundi Lake (Kathleen McArthur) Conservation Park
The park is named after Kathleen McArthur, a local artist, conservationist and founding member of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland in 1962.
The park's total area is 50 hectares (124 acres). It was first declared as a conservation park in 1994. A large percentage of the park is wallum heath, which in turn then supports a large and diverse number of fauna; 353 species, 14 of which are introduced, 25 species are rare or threatened. A vast array of wildflowers may be seen in the park at any time of the year, but are most abundant in late winter to early spring. A local volunteer group currently visits the park every month to engage in activities such as removing of weeds and revegetating. The park has two well-mapped walking tracks with information signs. Picnic facilities are provided in the Crummunda Park; facilities include picnic tables, barbecues and toilets.
The altitude of the terrain is 2 meters.
