About Panmure Basin
Panmure Basin is a tidal estuary within a volcanic crater (also known as a maar). The wide, sealed and mostly flat path around the basin is pram-friendly and ideal for scooters. The basin is home to the Lagoon Pool and Leisure Centre.

Three playgrounds, miniature train rides, toilets (including accessible), car park, fitness equipment, skating features, picnic tables and seating, and drinking fountains are inside the park.
