The lookout tower was built in memory of the old land owner. Which got burned down and was replaced with metal tower and that one also got removed and that is a real shame that there is no tower here now.

Hopefully, the Scenic Rim Regional Council should reconsider this spot and build another tower as the view is amazing but because of the tree line in the park, you can not see any view.

Now I don't think this is a bad spot. There are several picnic tables with heaps of lawn space which is also shaded from the trees. So it's a perfect spot for a picnic and especially if you are looking for a quiet place. Pretty much we only shared the park with one other couple who also was having a picnic there and the other bonus is that you can park your car right next to you.

We also had kookaburras flying around us and one cheeky magpie visit us why eating lunch.

I also explored the park a little and found two treks. One on the left side of the park, which pretty much goes nowhere. You just pass some mobile phone towers, but the one on the right of the park is worth a look.

As I was headed down the path I did notice that you are behind some people's property which I hope does not upset them at the end of the path there is a bit of a cliff where someone has cut down the trees and the view there is amazing. I think it looks over Biddaddaba.

Now if you do head down the trek please be careful of the cliff at the end and I don't recommend taking children down there as the cliff is pretty steep.

28/09/2021 Not a lookout at all, completely surrounded by trees, you cannot view anything.

This place just a picnic area, if you are looking for a lookout, do not come here.

This was once a tower lookout but unfortunatly due to the elements they have all be dismantled and removed.

Now it is a picnic area surrounded by trees... and graffiti.

There is a nuber of picnic tables and heaps of lawn space but is it very much a derelict park now.

I wouldn't stop here if I was after a lookout or nice picnic spot.
