Driver can be understood through several clearly identified leisure destinations. Open spaces in Driver include President Park and Reg Hillier Park; the clubhouse and back nine holes of Palmerston Golf and Country Club are also in the suburb. There is also Palmerston Mini Golf Course, an 18-hole mini golf course in Driver. When choosing your destination, location details are important as well as activities: the golf club’s front nine holes are in Durack. This can help you weigh up which of the named places you would most like to shape your stay in Driver.

Parks in Driver

Driver Avenue is listed as the access point for President Park, while Lorna Lim Terrace is the access point for Reg Hillier Park. When planning, keep each park name paired with its street so you can clearly distinguish which of the two places your choice refers to. New playground equipment was planned for President Park in 2025.

The location references differ: for the parks, the relevant detail is an access point for each; for the golf club, it is which course sections are in Driver or Durack. Use the detail that matches your specific destination when recording your travel plans.

Golf in Driver and Durack

Palmerston Golf and Country Club spans two locations: the clubhouse and back nine holes are in Driver, while the front nine are in Durack. The club name alone should therefore not be taken as the location of every part of the course. If you include golf in your choice of destination, decide based on the course section relevant to you whether Driver or Durack should be part of your plans.

Mini Golf in Driver

Palmerston Mini Golf Course is an 18-hole mini golf course in Driver. Although the golf club and the mini golf course both bear the name Palmerston, they are different types of offering: the club’s clubhouse and course sections are associated with two locations, while the Mini Golf Course is located in Driver. So when weighing up these two leisure options, consider both the activity and its location.

Driver as a place to stay

When searching for a holiday rental in Driver, these location details can help structure your initial decision. If you are considering the parks or mini golf course as part of your trip, Driver is the shared location name for the destinations listed. If you are interested in the golf club, distinguish whether the clubhouse and back nine or the front nine are part of your plans; Durack is the relevant location for the latter. So it is not just a matter of whether golf interests you, but also which location suits your plans.
