Considerable work has been done in the park over the past five years to upgrade different facilities within the park. There is now a boardwalk, outdoor education facilities, picnic table settings, a picnic shelter contributed by Rotary Caloundra and a tracks and trails upgrade that is ongoing.

The park also lays claim to being a vital feed area for one of the rarest species of parrot in Australia - the Glossy Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami). In addition, the 55 nest boxes which are located throughout the park are used by a range of animal species from microbats and small birds to possums and gliders. Other fauna species known to inhabit the park include lace monitors, echidnas, yellow-footed antechinus, Eastern grey kangaroos and swamp wallabies.

Ben Bennett Botanical Park is located at Queen Street, Caloundra and adjoins the local high school. Visitor guides for the park are available from Council's Customer Service Centre (1 Omrah Ave) or the Visitor Information Centres across Caloundra City.

Currimundi Environmental Park

Currimundi Environmental Park at Wurtulla, occupies 51ha and is a seaside environmental park of heath and tea trees. Wildflowers flower each spring.

The Currimundi Catchment area forms an important open space link of water body and bushland parks that surround the waterways. This bushland forms a riparian corridor that helps to stem erosion and which sustains a variety of wildlife. Vegetation varies throughout the catchment and includes Melaleuca wetland, Eucalypt woodland, patches of Coastal heath land and Littoral rainforest.        

The waterways themselves contain various species of marine life and attract many different types of birds such as the osprey. The native flora is a home to a diverse range of wildlife. The Lake is also important for the Migratory Bird population.  For more information on the Currimundi Catchment please visit www.currimundicatchment.org.au
