Redwood and Jubilee Parks Loop

Experience this 11.6-km loop trail through eucalypt forest along the Toowoomba escarpment. This is a popular trail for hiking, mountain biking, and trail running, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. Starting from the Grasstree Track trailhead at the bottom of Redwood Park, this challenging circuit combines tracks from Redwood Park and Jubilee Park.
This route features a decent incline that is sure to get the heart pumping! Can become quite muddy in places, especially after rain.

The trails that make up this loop are officially listed as Grade 3/Medium - Grade 4/Hard (steep inclines, loose/uneven surfaces + limited signage). This track is suitable for walkers/joggers with a moderate-high fitness level.

Table Top Loop

Table Top mountain on the edge of Toowoomba, provides views of the Lockyer Valley and surround. The climb itself can be quite demanding with a lot of large steps over the Camel's Hump and a scramble just before the summit. But the reward at the top, with a circuit all the way around, provides a spectacular vista.

Table Top is an area of high significance to the Traditional Owners, recognised in the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Register and protected under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003. You are respectfully requested to consider your decision to climb this mountain.

Williams Park

This shady walk follows a clear, trickling creek through urban bushland. A wide, wooden bridge crosses the creek near the trailhead. There is usually water in the creek, and the thick canopy trees/lush fern trees walk make this a beautiful walk in any weather.

Officially listed as Grade 2/Easy difficulty (unsealed dirt trail, some very short hills along the western bank), this walk is suitable for all ages and most fitness levels.
