There is a park on the banks of the Balonne River which is a pleasant spot for a picnic. It is part of a walk along the Balonne River which includes footbridges, viewing platforms, Memorial Garden and a weir. There is an Aboriginal interpretative shelter which tells the story of local Aboriginal families and with any river bank environment out west, it is home to some impressive birdlife.
