Stuart
★★★★★2 months agoIncredible park with great facilities including toilets and plently of places to eat and drink. There are multiple walking routes which you can hike to the top. Its a great way to spend a couple of hours and the views from the top are absolutely breath-taking, particularly at sunset. The park is very well maintained.
