Hartmann Park: A Bushland Escape in Crows Nest

Hartmann Park, located in Crows Nest, Queensland, is a charming local park donated to the council in the 1970s by Mr. Hubert Hartmann. This park provides a beautiful bushland setting ideal for picnics and leisurely strolls along Bald Hills Creek.

The park boasts a range of facilities, including a picnic area with shelters, picnic tables, barbecues, water, and toilets, making it perfect for a family outing. The Montivaga Walking Circuit, a 385m loop, takes you past sandstone rock formations and through eucalyptus forests, with vibrant wildflowers in spring. The Tea Tree Walk and Bottlebrush Walk offer shorter trails, highlighting the local flora, such as tea trees and bottlebrushes. Applegum Walk connects Hartmann Park to Bullocky's Rest, following Crows Nest Creek and passing the Pump Hole, a deep waterhole that once supplied water to the local butter factory.
