Several large areas of green lie within minutes of Darwin Airport, including the Marrara Recreational Area and the adjacent Darwin Golf Course in the Northlakes area, on the northern perimeter of the airport. Slightly further north lie a host of parks and gardens, such as Wongyung Park, the Darwin Warer Gardens, Jingili Park, Moil Park, Yanyula Park and Malak Park.
