Kayes Rocks Park

Toowong

Updated: Mar 08, 2025

Quaint little terraced park, Kayes Rocks Reserve, found tucked at the end of a tiny cul-de-sac, feels like a million miles from the city for those who need an escape.

With sweeping views of the giant fig tree-fringed Orleigh Park across the river bend and the St Lucia 1960’s towers towards the Uni it’s a more than pleasant place to take time out on one of the benches.

Once it was a hive of activity though, back when Patterson’s Timber Mills occupied the site of Toowong Village in the late 1880’s. Bullock teams brought the logged timber to the Rafting Grounds in Pullenvale whereupon they were floated down river to Kayes Rocks and collected from here for the mills. The flywheel and steam engine cylinders, remnants of the mill, adorn the side of Moggill Rd next to Oakman Park Toowong.
