Residents of Holland Park are so lucky to have Glindemann Park at their door step. People talk…read moreabout increasing house value by adding a swimming pool or being close to public transport. If you ask me, the houses off Lawn Street should be worth a fortune by having this field of gold at their door. Glindemann Park has 2 main play areas- up the hill is for the younger kid. It is mostly a shaded fort structure. Older kids need to manoeuvre down a tricky gully to get to the lower area which has a climbing web, swings and slides. There's also a third area a little distance away with a basketball half court and a small skateboarding square. There are a few picnic tables and BBQs but not heaps. I haven't come down on the weekends but I imagine it would be a really popular family picnic destination. The only problem I foresee is that this park is not fenced. This is a particular issue as the toddler area backs onto a fairly busy road. Mums and dads - have fun but keep an eye on roving, young children.

You know what I love about my memories here, the fact that when I first drove up this mountain to…read morethe lookout with a friend, he said to me, 'remember the blair witch project? This drive is going to be just like that'. Oh secret yay! Okay. Freaked me out? Yes. Similarities? Totally! This place seems crappy to drive up (compared to the spectacular views driving up Mt Cootha), but once you get up there, the view is very very pretty. Pretty awesome. You can even look across and see the other of the 2 lookouts in Brisbane. There have been stabbings up here late at night to early in the mornings (time yet to be determined) but if you ignore that, the people who shout (usually the young ones) the people trying to get it on (don't know why) and the hustle and bustle of a secluded hilltop, the view is breathtaking. It's not as popular which means, not so many people as well, always able to find a park, most of the time. There is a good riding path for intermediate to advance riders and it will definetely be a workout walking up here, why would you? If you're into views and mountains, check it out.

I remember driving up to Mt Gravatt Lookout about ten years ago prepared to admire the scenic city…read moreviews but scurrying away after some drunk bogans in a couple of utes shouted derogatory comments. It was so disappointing that the lookout was an abandoned cesspit inhabited only by derros at night. How times have changed. These days Mt Gravatt Lookout is a busy cycling track in the mornings. The 2km ascent is a decent work out for most experienced riders and not insurmountable for beginners. The entrance to the reserve starts at the end of Shire Road which turns off Logan Road. While there are some safe walking tracks along the reserve, it is unsuitable for runners. Furthermore the roads, which are narrow and winding, are shared by cyclists and cars. Be sure to pack a picnic basket if you want to take your time and bask in the panoramic views of the Brisbane CBD, Mt Coother and even the Glass House Mountains (on a clear day). If you don't feel like BYO, at the top of Mt Gravatt Lookout is a wonderful restaurant called Echidna Magic. I didn't get the chance to try it on my last visit but it's definitely on my list of restaurants to try. The view from this restaurant is amazing and it looks family friendly with an attached playground and the native education gardens. I'll be sure to write another review once I've experienced the Echidna Magic but so far Mount Gravatt Lookout is a five out of five.

Being built in a huge warehouse, they still have lots of spaces to fill and few areas look half done, but they are doing good. They just started bringing music, art and sports classes as an extra which I think is fantastic.
