I had the opportunity to experience Minnippi Parklands one Saturday morning when I participated in Minnippi parkrun. Even after a week of rain the paths withstood the pounding of 230 keen runners.

Minnippi Parklands is a welcome spot for a relaxing stroll. While not technically a bushwalk, the Parklands are a welcome nature escape for the surrounding suburbs of Tingalpa and Carindale. A wider than average footpath, that is suitable for all abilities, circles Minnippi Lake. A viewing platform overhanging the lake is an ideal vantage point to watch the various duck and bird species.
