Things to see and do
* Take a look back in time at the historic Hawkstowe farm complex, which sits elegantly on the hill with views of the entire Park. This area consists of the brick and bluestone Le Page homestead, barn and stables
* Extensive restoration works have been undertaken on the homestead building in recent times, returning it to its 1860's period. Surrounding the homestead is a cottage garden with mature exotic trees. The garden is maintained by volunteer members from the Mill Park Garden Club
* The Le Page Homestead is the home base for Plenty Valley Arts Inc, who offer arts based activities and events to the broader community. The homestead gallery is open to the public for inspection and sales by appointment
* On the first and third Sunday of each month a local woodcarver shows his artwork and sells his products
* The playground is the perfect place for the children to play safely
* Take a walk around the picturesque lakes. Sit on the jetty and discover the abundant wildlife. Maybe the friendly kangaroos will come and visit you
* Take a stroll along the loop trail to visit the lookout for a spectacular view. From the lookout, capture the splendid views over the Plenty Gorge and its meandering river
* The park has extensive grass areas, just perfect for ball games and kite flying
