Maleny Boardwalk: Tesch Park
Located in the heart of Maleny.
Suitability
A short walk suitable for all ages, prams and wheelchairs, and recreational cyclists. It’s an easy grade.
Highlights
Tesch Park is located in the heart of Maleny, a rural community located high in the Blackall Range. The park is a central point for locals and visitors to the area, with a fenced playground, shelters with picnic and barbecue facilities, as well as public amenities.
The parkland extends past the Maleny Library and along the Obi Obi Creek. You can enjoy picturesque views along a short walking trail and spend time relaxing in the open parkland (known as Pecan Park). This walk is a small loop off the larger Maleny Trail Circuit established as part of the Maleny Community Precinct. The full circuit is 6.7km starting at the Maleny Showgrounds.
Afterwards
Take a short walk up Coral Street and look for platypus on the Obi Obi Boardwalk. Follow the boardwalk beside the Obi Obi creek through a subtropical rainforest, with a number of viewing platforms.
Or if you're feeling energetic, do the whole 6.7kms Maleny Trail Circuit! Because of the cooler mountain air and deciduous trees, this a beautiful trail to do in Autumn and Winter months.
