Picnics at the Bristol Hill Apex Playground
This is a great place to stop by for a picnic or barbecue lunch before exploring the historical features of the adjacent Bristol Hill historic area.
A free barbecue is set beneath a shelter along with a bench seat, and a picnic table sits out in the sun alongside the barbecue.
A second picnic shelter is located over the other side of miners drive, which contains a picnic table.
Walks from the Bristol Hill Apex Playground
There are a number of interesting and educational walking tracks, which begin just behind the playground.
Bristol Hill Pioneers Memorial Tower
Bristol Hill Tower commemorates the pioneers who settled in Maryborough after gold was discovered in the district in 1854. Built by the unemployed, the tower (designed by E J Peck) was opened by George Frost MLA on 16 April 1933. It contains a spiral staircase of bluestone steps from the old Maryborough Gaol.
