Winter is cold but worth the walk and fresh air with the dogs.
Nice flat paths around each side of the water, ducks and perfect picnic tables or grass if you have a blanket! Plus the big thermometer!
Stanthorpe is a beautiful place, especially in Autumn/ start of winter, with so much color change visible on trees. It's mesmerizing. I fell in love with Stanthorpe.
This big thermometer is all right, but the surrounding area is so beautiful and peaceful.
Nice and quiet good place to go for all to enjoy. The path is wheelchair friendly as well. Plenty of wildlife to see and hear. Well maintained area. Highly recommend going to have a look at.

Such a beautiful area!! Really nice walk where you can see a lot of ducks.
Very cute park in the centre of Stanthorpe, right next to the visitor centre. Have a quick 10minute stretch and wonder about or pack a picnic and stay longer.
