Tallowood Ridge

Sports & Nature

Enhancing the family-friendly atmosphere of Tallowood Ridge is the purpose-built sports field complex, which will feature two football fields—one for adults and one just for younger players—a cricket pitch, two paved tennis courts, a basketball court, and lots of parking for visitors and spectators. A horse riding school and stables is conveniently located right across the road.

Byron Shire is a haven for active players: go cycling on dozens of quiet country roads, hang glide off Cape Byron, sky dive above the coast, parasail in the hinterland, climb Mt. Warning, or go bushwalking on the tracks that weave throughout the numerous national parks and nature reserves a short drive away. You can also get wet while doing one of the water-based adventures such as swimming with the Byron Winter Whales Club, sailing, surfing, wind surfing, paddle boarding, fishing, canoeing, snorkelling or scuba diving at Julian Rocks Marine Park – the list is endless!
