History of Paronella Park
The story of Paronella Park began in 1913 when a Spanish immigrant named Jose Paronella arrived in Australia. Jose Paronella fell in love with the place’s natural beauty and created his own paradise. He purchased 13 acres of land in Mena Creek and began to build his dream park. Constructing a castle, gardens, bridges, and other stunning features with his own hands. He also installed hydroelectric generators, which provided electricity to the park and the nearby town.
Over the years, Paronella Park has become a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world. However, it faced numerous challenges, including fires, floods, and financial difficulties. Despite these setbacks, the park symbolised resilience, creativity, and beauty. Today, it is run by the descendants of Jose Paronella and continues to inspire and amaze visitors of all ages.
Features and Attractions
Paronella Park is where nature and imagination come together in seamless harmony. Here are some of the highlights of the park:
The Castle
Paronella Park’s centrepiece is the Castle, a stunning building that reflects the vision and talent of Jose Paronella. The Castle is built in a unique style that blends Spanish, Mediterranean, and Gothic elements. It features turrets, arches, balconies, and other intricate details, making it a masterpiece of architecture. Inside the Castle, you’ll find a museum that showcases the history of Paronella Park and the life of its founder.

The Gardens include a bamboo forest, an orchard, a rainforest, and a river walk. There are also several picnic areas and a kiosk to enjoy refreshments.

The Waterfall of Paronella Park is a natural wonder that adds to the park’s charm. It is a 45-foot-high waterfall that cascades into a pool of crystal-clear water. The waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery and provides a perfect backdrop for photography.
Paronella Park Bridges
