Reviews of Trinity Park, QLD

"A growing beachside and marina community"

Trinity Park was a small sleepy community, almost part of the more well known Trinity Beach, separated by the Earl Hill nature reserve.
It is now growing with hundreds of new houses and a marina, making it a suburb of two halves.
The newer part has added shops, a tavern and a small shopping centre.
The beach is a beautiful, unspoilt beach, not safe for swimming due to the proximity to the creek but perfect for a quiet walk or relaxation and access to the Earl Hill nature reserve and walking track.
The new marina adds interest and offers a boat ramp.

Looking for a home in Trinity Park?

"We love living in Smithfield Village!"

We moved here a year ago after initially planing on purchasing in Kewarra Beach. We are so glad we chose Trinity Park over Kewarra. Kewarra seems tired and you've got the extra 10 mins drive each way when you need something from the shops or dropping the kids at school. Smithfield village is so convenient to all the major facilities in Smithfield but just far enough away to be out of the hustle and bustle. The little shopping village is also fantastic. Great little cafe/bar, pizza, Thai, Gym, Fresh fruit & veges, bakery, doctors...etc. Away from the trouble hotspots up on Reed Rd. Some of the new areas are a little light on trees, as are most new estates. (To all the wingers complaining about the atmosphere, plant some tress, thats what happened in the older leafy areas. They didn't pop up miraculously by themselves!) In fact the drive into the village from Reed Rd is a beautiful lush boulevard of established greenery. The area around the shopping village is particularly nice and well established. Looking up QLD police crime figures also tells a story. Both Kewarra and Trinity Beach have more crime activity logged with the police than Trinity Park. Unfortunately there is nowhere that has zero crime, but Trinity Park is pretty good.

"Great Little Suburb"

I live in the older part near the beach end. It is a very peaceful suburb and all of my neighbors are middle aged with families, they have always been very friendly and are always willing to lend a hand. We are so close to any shop you could possibly need. With the new Cinema opened at Smithfield there is no need to go near town. I feel safe with my children playing at the numerous parks around. ( 2 Just in my street), or for the older ones catching a bus to the shopping centre just 15mins up the road.

"Great Lifestyle"

I've lived in Trinity Park for several years now near the beach end. Great spot for a quiet walk along the beach, dinner or beer with friends at the nearby tavern that overlooks the Marina. The boat ramp is literally 300m from my house. What can I say...Perfect. There is an area near the water that is designated for tourist development. A developer currently holds it and if the plans go ahead it will be the "new" trinity beach everyone refers to in the previous posts. As for mozzies.... it's the tropics. If you don't like mozzies go live in Melbourne.

"Love Trinity Park. Close to everything. Great neighbours"

I first rented in Trinity Park and then decided to buy. Houses are great value. Close to the shopping centre and beaches. Newly built local shopping centre which is very convenient. Close to private primary school and Smithfield High School and also University. Lovely neighbours. Nice and quiet and safe. Has everything and more you will need.

Did you experience the older part with large blocks and beautiful established gardens? Each home has parking for several cars. Wallabies, butterflies, plentiful bird life abound.
Have you watched a sunrise from the unspoilt beach, or the steps up to the Bakarra track? I think you have missed so much!

"Lego houses with no character"

All houses look the same and most are of poor quality. Not a part of the Northern beaches which starts at Trinity Beach. Houses so close together you can hear your neighbours sneeze. Beach is riddled with mosquitoes. Poor neighbour spirit. Only thing good is the proximity to shops.

"Worst suburb up north"

First. Don't confuse Trinity Park with the northern beaches. The beaches start at Trinity Beach onwards.
New houses going up here are extremely poor in design and quality. Expect problems very early post completion.
Has a shop.
The beach is almost unusable. It backs onto a swamp that is swarming with mosquitoes.
New houses are like lego. Compressed together and all look the same.
Only good thing is that it's close to Smithfield where you can go to the tavern and drink as much as possible to try to forget that you live in Trinity Park.
Now has a tavern near Blue Water where I've heard the waterfront houses are sinking. Great starter suburb for newbies to Cairns before they find their feet and realise there is so much better.

Surely when you moved to your revolting little new sub division house you could see that it was going to be hell to live there.
I live in the older section. Lovely neighbors close to marina and big land. And cheaper than your little crappy house on your 400m block. Use some common sense.

This review is written by a real estate agent. Not to be taken seriously. Stay clear of the houses packed in like sardines and try an established suburb like Kewarra Beach or Trinity Beach.

"You'll be amazed by the community resources already available to Smithfield Village residents."

It sounds astonishing, but the fact is that within five minutes of your new home in Smithfield Village , there are already many outstanding facilities.

A substantial community recreation centre.

A 50 metre public swimming pool.

Holy Cross School, Trinity Park , the local primary school, and Smithfield High School.

James Cook University is a casual bike ride across the Highway which also shares the name of Australia's famous discoverer.

And there are local shops within walking distance of the Village.

What's more, the substantial Smithfield Shopping Centre, with K Mart, Woolworths and many excellent specialty stores, is a brief, three-minute drive away.

"Large public housing communites in Trinity park, Dont waste your time."

Don't your time building your dream home in Trinity Park.

There are considerably large amount of public housing in this area, along on Reed Road and particularly new public housing units are currently building in the Bluewater canal which near Half moon Bay beach and as a result this has pretty much ruined the whole Bluewater estate.

Also, there is a new cheap estate like 'Smithfield Village' where some real estate allows house and land package to be built at S/field village at a record low price, which are fine for investors. Apart from it, there are good schools and major shopping centre nearby.

I currently reside in Trinity Beach. It's nice, but Trinity Park seems to be a better bang for buck. Is it really filled with public housing? I was looking at buying in this area in 6 to 12 months, however if it has this going on there is no way I will bother. I don't want problem neighbours.

damon79: I bought in Smithfield Village 6 months ago and we've been very happy here. All the homes are of good quality, as you say they are affordable, everyone we pass on our afternoon walks are friendly, and the maintanance of the suburb is very well done. Their is a Village community organisation that organises regular events in the local park which is great if you have kids. It is true that their is public housing on Reed road and Bluewater estate but we haven't seen any issues with that in our estate. Unfortunately Cairns will always have public housing throughout most suburbs of the region.
