Route/Trail notes
From the picnic area, follow the compacted gravel path marked 'Wallaby Walk' until you reach Lockyer Lookout. The path widens occasionally to allow for space for wheelchair rest spots, and there is a large seat at the lookout. Return via the same path, or turn right at Link Walk to return to the picnic area via Sensory Walk. The sensory trail has a flat, compacted dirt surface, but there may be leaf/stick litter across the path. There are guide ropes along the path for people with vision impairment, however there are may breaks in the rope due to vandalism (council maintain this park regularly).
