"A nice place for family walks, very easy trails. Extremely clean BBQs. Not much play equipment but enough to relax and kids some fun."
"Quiet park located very close to Ipswich Hospital. Pretty deserted, and I certainly would not recommend coming here alone. There are a few walking paths. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful. There is a play area with swings etc. There are picnic tables and benches. Free car parking is available and is located next to the water tank. There is another car park which can be accessed from Quarry road."
"Overview says dog friendly,but the sign at the water tower says dogs must be on leash...I saw numerous people with dogs off leash. There was clear evidence of a large open fire at the children's playground,but fires are banned. There are gas barbecues and picnic tables, and a toilet block including a wheelchair friendly one. A number of different walking tracks you can take,but there's nothing too long or difficult. The water tower itself has been closed for quite awhile now."
"Great walking trails leading to an amazing play gym for the kids"
"Marvellous place to go for a brisk walk about 1 kilometre from Ipswich CBD ! In the past it’s had a variety of uses including a dump and cold mine. It’s been an environmental park since 1979 and group of local residents are rehabilitating it to its pristine condition There’s reminders of the mining past with bits of railway tracks and a coal mining heap. There’s fantastic views across to mt Crosby from Chelmsford avenue side! Unfortunately at the moment there’s no access up the water tower but ground viewing still provides good access across the city"
