Suitability
This short 1.2 kilometre trail on the edge of Nambour is suitable for walkers and those new to trail running. Dogs on lead also welcome.
Highlights
The park itself has a large picnic area with a playground, BBQ facilities, seating and amenities.
The recreation loop is approximately 1km, following a short bush track around the forest. The walk requires you to loop back up to the entrance, which includes a steep incline of stairs guaranteed to make you break into a light sweat!
There is a rest area before the incline, so take a moment to enjoy the views and breath in the bushland experience.
For those wishing to increase the heart rate, the loop branches off down to the lower street level and follows a steep stairway as you journey back to the recreation loop. This is a great option if you're looking to do a short endurance session or new to trail running!
Afterwards
Enjoy the picnic area or take some time to read about Koala Park on the information board. Closely located to Nambour, there is a hub of local cafes, restaurants and shops to enjoy
