Macksville sits on the Nambucca River on the NSW Mid North Coast. Its riverside setting, town heritage and access to nearby coastal and hinterland landscapes make it a natural place to slow down. Destination NSW introduces the local area and its outdoor context. (opens in a new tab)
For a simple stop close to town, Hodge Park (opens in a new tab) is listed by Nambucca Valley Council with playground and shaded areas.
If your plans extend into nearby parks, check conditions and choose activities that suit the weather, your experience and the day. NSW Government park-planning guidance (opens in a new tab) is a helpful starting point.
Keep local operator, road and water conditions current before you travel, then make time for a riverside walk and the town centre.
