Picnic Point - Toowoomba

The Picnic Point Park and lookout is a popular Toowoomba spot for leisurely coffees, family picnics, and short walks. Located on a peak in the Great Dividing Range it provides excellent panoramas out onto the Lockyer Valley plains below and is the starting point for a range of walks down the escarpment and through the bush below ranging from a short 500m stroll to a 5km track.
Be greeted upon entry with an avenue of mature hoop pine (Auracaria cunnninghamii) and South Queensland kauri (Agathis robusta) before the parklands open into manicured lawns. Pre-pack a picnic or use the free barbecues and find a quiet patch of grass under a bunya tree, or stop by the cafe and restaurant and take in the views over a coffee or a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's the perfect spot for bird watching and quiet contemplation.
There’s plenty of space, a children's playground, and picnic facilities. In the restaurant, you can order a coffee, snack or meal and eat inside or out on the patio with spectacular views out over the valley.
The man-made waterfall provides an attractive backdrop for family photos and the kids will love climbing across the stepping stones with very little chance of getting really wet. The whole area is beautifully planted and especially if you get up here around the Toowoomba Flower Festival when a lot of work goes into ensuring every flower bed around town is looking its best.
