According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, the word 'viridian' is derived from the Latin word 'viridis', which means green, a dark shade of spring green, that sits between green and teal on the colour wheel.

And this is what we discovered … Viridian Circuit Park is an aptly descriptive name for a well-equipped family park in Birtinya, a suburb of Kawana Waters, that is surrounded by pathways that meander lazily through a spectrum of Mother Nature's lavish green hues.



For anyone looking for a bit of exercise, the 1.2km length Viridian Circuit Park offers wide, level pathways fringed by beautifully maintained shrubbery and trees - an invitation to walkers, runners, recreational cyclists, pram strollers and even wheelchair users. In other words, this easy circuit is perfect for all ages and all abilities.



Bring a ball, the kids will love the opportunity to shoot some baskets on the half-court; or why not tackle an impromptu exercise session on the awesome outdoor exercise equipment.



Pack the cricket gear, there's a cricket oval in the middle of the rugby field and for the rugby lovers, the expansive field even boasts its own goalposts and more than enough space for two full teams to practice their handling and running skills.



An expansive, fully-fenced and immaculately kept off-leash dog park has pristine new undercover seating for dog lovers allowing Rover to run around, burning off surplus energy whilst the paw-rents get to enjoy the shade and perhaps … a book and chat! There is no shortage of doggy-do bags, especially for our furry pals who insist on 'going more than once'!



Pack a picnic, there are heaps of BBQ and undercover picnic spots, with tranquil water views and on the Sunday morning that we visited, we were pleasantly surprised to find quite a few ready and available for that special celebration in the family. An on-site toilet block and fresh drinking water ensures that longer visits are easily accommodated, with comfort in mind.



Walkers will discover bench seating at the northern end of Viridian Circuit Park overlooking the river - a welcoming invitation to take a seat, relax and enjoy the local birdlife on and around the water. Look out for the ducks skimming across the water!



For those overly ambitious adventurers, who wish to add to their exploration itinerary, the Viridian Circuit pathway in the south-east corner of the park, passes beneath Kawana Way and the walk continues through to the Kawana Forest Nature Walk - keep an eye out for this 'walk for another day.'



How to find the Viridian Circuit Park?

From Kawana Way turn into Barney Moy Road at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Turn right into Birtinya Boulevard, then after travelling for approximately one kilometre, turn left into Viridian Circuit. There is ample parking available next to the raised BBQ area and the toilet block.



Writer's Verdict?

A fabulous family destination to head to any day of the week and with so many recreational amenities available, well worth a bookmark. These are the 'hidden' gems that are worthwhile discovering!
