The Lions Park Boat Ramp offers a spacious and well-designed five-lane concrete launch, providing easy access into the Burnett River. Conveniently located beneath the Burnett Bridge, it’s a reliable ramp that performs well across all tides and times of day, making it a favourite for both locals and visitors.
There’s ample room for launching, along with plenty of designated parking for cars and trailers, so getting in and out is generally hassle-free. Beyond boating, the area is also a great spot to cast a line and enjoy a bit of fishing along the river.
Lions Park itself adds to the appeal, with well-maintained amenities including toilets, picnic tables, and a nearby playground for families. Shaded areas beneath established trees create comfortable spaces to relax, while a designated off-leash area makes it a welcoming destination for dog owners as well.
For those who prefer to stay on land, the riverside walking paths are a highlight, especially at sunset, when the views across the water, city skyline, nearby ranges, and the historic rail bridge come to life. It’s a peaceful pocket in the heart of town, perfect for unwinding, enjoying a picnic, or simply taking a break from the pace of everyday life.
Overall, Lions Park is more than just a boat ramp; it’s a versatile day-use spot where you can launch, fish, relax, or enjoy a casual meal with a view of the river.
