About

The Palmerston Water Park in Gateway Shopping Centre precinct is one of the best free family spots in the Darwin region. This purpose-built outdoor aquatic play area features water jets, spray stations, a toddler splash pad, and fun water features — all completely free to use. Palmerston is Darwin's satellite city, about 20 minutes south, and the water park is a great local option for families who want low-cost fun on a hot day. Open daily and suitable for children of all ages. Bring a change of clothes and towels. Popular with locals so busy during school holidays. Works well as a half-day outing combined with lunch at Gateway.
