Pioneer Park Explore

Highlights

Tucked just off the Eumundi Kenilworth Road, this little park has some interesting historical features that are worth the stop. Old, tree stumps down near the creek are ghostly reminders of the logging history of the area and in the park, shaded by an avenue of trees, is a short historical walk that acknowledges some of the pioneering timber cutters and selectors who worked in the industry and used the timber to build the first school in Kenilworth.

How to get there

To the starting point: Take the Bruce Highway and turn off onto the Eumundi Kenilworth Road. Follow the signs to Gheerulla. Pioneer Park rest area is clearly marked on the left-hand side of the road.

The Historical Walk is signposted. The creek walk is accessed just behind the amenities block.

To the end point: The end point is the same as the starting point.
