Jack's Paddock

Welcome to Jack's Paddock

Jack's Paddock was named in honour of the lifetime contribution to the Yeppoon community of Jack and Martha Skinner. After surveying and consulting the local community a Community Garden along with the play space was created to bring the community together with regular activities and events. Everyone is welcome to be involved in any way you can. 

Thank you so much to Jack and Martha!

Normally we'd see Magpies doing that each Thursday morning, but today was the Butcher birds turn. To report any sightings, head over to the Citizen Science page, and fill in the form
