“Doughty Park” offers limited children’s playground equipment and picnic facilities.  Due to the proximity of traffic, children need to be supervised at all times.  A new public toilet block and Visitor Information Centre are part of the park.

Offering basic picnic facilities, the “Lions Park” has plenty of room for the kids to roam around. Large trees provide shade on hot days and cooking can be done on a number of wood fired BBQ’s.

In early 2012, the Tamborine Mountain “Lions Club” installed two large picnic shelters, providing comfort from the elements.

These feature large picnic benches and tables and a solidly built roof structure on a concrete floor.  This addition makes “Lions Park” an even more popular picnic area.  It is easily accessible, but still a little away from the “beaten track”.  The new picnic shelters are located close to “Curtis Road”, with plenty of close by parking.
