Discover Lindisfarne: Parks, Culture and Paddling

Lindisfarne offers a range of experiences: inclusive play equipment and fitness facilities at Simmons Park, a war memorial alongside play equipment at ANZAC Park, and a kayak route that ends in Lindisfarne Bay. The Community Library and the Historical Society are also part of the local picture. For trip planning, this gives you a choice of activities, culture and paddling. The key is deciding which of these aspects you would like to focus on during your stay.

Play and exercise at Simmons Park

Simmons Park in Lindisfarne has inclusive play equipment for all age groups. This includes a ground-level carousel, swing seats for people with different abilities, and a communication chat board. If you are planning for different age groups, you will find specific play equipment here; the chat board adds another feature. The park also has fitness equipment: a leg press, an aerobic bike, a chest press, an elliptical trainer and a torso rotation machine. Play and exercise equipment are side by side, but cater to different interests. Park facilities may change; check the Council’s information before visiting.

Remembrance and community

ANZAC Park has a different focus: it contains a war memorial and play equipment. Remembrance and play therefore come together in the same park. This sets it apart from Simmons Park, which has inclusive play equipment and fitness equipment. The Lindisfarne Community Activities Centre complements the park facilities with a library and local history: it houses the Community Library and the Lindisfarne Historical Society. For your trip planning, this offers a distinction between a memorial in the park and two organisations in the Centre. If you would like to include remembrance, reading and history as well as exercise, these points of interest offer different ways to engage.

Paddling into Lindisfarne Bay

The Clarence Kayak Trail includes Lindisfarne Bay as one of its destinations. This gives paddling enthusiasts a specific place to aim for along the route. Weather and water conditions can change; take both into account when planning your day on the water. As well as your interest in paddling, you will need to consider the conditions on the day. This makes the kayak route a distinct option alongside play, exercise and culture.

Plan your stay around your interests

If you are looking for hotels in Lindisfarne, start by considering what kind of days you want to have. Would you like your stay to include play and exercise, the cultural side of the area, or a paddling activity? This question helps organise the different experiences without combining them into a single type of outing. If you are planning a varied trip, consider which aspect you would like to define your stay most and which should be more of an addition.
