Redeveloped Pyramid Parklands Gujura officially opens in Cairns

Redeveloped Pyramid Parklands Gujura officially opens in Cairns
March 6, 2025

Stage 1 of the redeveloped Pyramid Parklands Gujura (formerly known as Kenrick Street Park) has been officially opened.

This is the first phase of a masterplan designed to create a destination park for the growing community west of the Bruce Highway.

Stage 1 of the project includes a full-size basketball court, fenced dog off-leash area, pump track, learn-to-ride track, and landscaped picnic spaces with shelters, tables, and seating.

There is also a playground, which includes flying fox, six-bay swing and a basket swing, accessible carousel, monkey bars, a hang ‘n’ glide and web wall for climbing.

Covering 5.7 hectares, Pyramid Parklands Gujura is one of region’s largest premier, recreational parks, and responds to future growth and development in the southern part of the Cairns Regional Council area.

The population of the southern corridor is expected to increase by 40,000 people by 2050, redevelopment of the park allows for that growth and provides important social, recreational and play spaces for residents.

The $6 million stage redevelopment was jointly funded by the Queensland Government, which will provide up to $3 million for the project.
