Pumicestone Lions Park

The last stop before the Bribie Bridge when heading north along the Bongaree Foreshore is Pumicestone Lions Park. This is a great picnic spot to finish your day, with plenty of amenities for your comfort and viewing spots across to the mainland.

View, views, and more views

If you are looking for wide-open spaces with clear pathways and room to move, Pumicestone Lions Park ticks all the boxes when planning your next visit to Bribie Island.
