Aeroglen things to do

There is heaps to do in Aeroglen. You can enjoy a coffee and meal at the local cafe or visit one of the local parks. There are a number of walking trails allowing you to enjoy the environment and get some healthy exercise. It is a leafy suburb with a relaxed vibe, so enjoy!

Aeroglen Touch Football Fields

There are many council parks in the area, the most well known of which is Touch Park. Touch Park is the spiritual home of touch football (rugby league) in the Cairns region. It is also home to the Cairns Pirates Touch Football Association.

In addition there is an ‘off-lead dog park’ at the south end of Touch Park. This is a great place to come and give your dog a run (just as long as it gets on with other pooches).

The Yellow Arrow

South of Touch Park is the Yellow Arrow walking track, which winds its way through Mt Whitfield Conservation Park, behind the Cairns Botanic Gardens. 

The Yellow Arrow is a walking trail up Mount Whitfield. Indeed Mt Whitfield is a 300ha forested mountain range, home to rainforest, eucalyptus forests and grasslands.

Consequently, car parking and toilets have now been provided at the base of the trail (south of touch park) accessed from Aeroglen Drive.

Aeroglen Community Hall

The Community Hall at 1 Quarry Street in Aeroglen is not a Council Building. This hall is a privately owned facility.

Aeroglen Dog Park

One of Cairns best dog parks is located at the southern end of Touch Park between the southern boundary of the sporting fields and the southern side of the park between Aeroglen Drive and the mangrove lined creek to the west.

Dogs are social animals by nature so it’s important to walk your dog regularly to help your pooch socialise with people and other dogs. It’s also a great way to relieve boredom – one of the most common reasons for dogs to misbehave.

When walking your dog:

• Have your dog on a leash (unless in a dog off-leash area)
• Use designated dog off-leash areas if you want to have your pet off lead
• Pick up their poop.
