Covering around eight hectares, this park is a forest regeneration site where a natural eucalypt forest has been encouraged to develop. This bushland park provides three small bush walks with great scenery and views east over the Great Dividing Range, including Table Top Mountain.
This park is ideal for walking with young children and those less mobile with trails being accessible by people using wheelchairs and mobility devices. The Sensory Walk additionally features a handrail rope to assist visually impaired people to navigate the trail.
