In 1940 a dog/man-proof fence was constructed in Redwood Park. As the zoo in Queens Park park closed in 1941, it is a distinct possibility that the animals were released into the Redwood Park enclosure.

In 1951 Redwood Park was used as an animal and bird sanctuary, containing various species native to Australia. There were also infrastructure improvements made to the park during this period, such as a caretaker’s dwelling, sewerage, lighting plant, two sanitary structures and bird and animal cages were erected in the vicinity of the dwelling. Water was piped from the Council mains and there was a metalled track to the dwelling area. Of these none remain, only remnants of the fence which can be found in a number of areas including along Prince Henry Drive.

A bush picnic area with tables and a compost toilet is located in the south eastern corner of the park, at the entrance off the Range highway (Toowoomba Connection Road). Turn left off the down section of the Range after the saddle - but be careful to provide ample indication to following vehicles.

If you bring your dog, please keep it on-leash.
