About Lilianfels Park
Road Builders Memorial at Lilianfels Park
Lilianfels Park has a commemorative sculpture called the Road Builders Memorial. Its five bronze statues depict convict labourers, a trooper and Aboriginal men, who together built Cox's Road from Emu Plains to Bathurst. The memorial is the central historical feature of Lilianfels Park and gives it a heritage focus that sets it apart from scenic lookouts elsewhere in the Blue Mountains. It suits visitors interested in colonial road-building history.
Picnic Shelter and Tables at Lilianfels Park
Lilianfels Park has a picnic shelter with tables beside its car park, and more picnic tables and seats are spread across the grounds. Toilets are provided in an amenities block that is kept clean. Other facilities at Lilianfels Park are limited beyond the shelter and tables. Dining options near the park are also limited, so Lilianfels Park works best for visitors who bring their own food.
Walking Track and Valley Views at Lilianfels Park
Lilianfels Park has a walking track through its grounds, a simple option for visitors who want a short outdoor stroll. The track looks out over the Jamison Valley, and the valley views are strongest at sunset. The grounds also hold remnants of the former Lilianfels Estate fruit orchard, including Spanish chestnut, Portuguese laurel and cherry trees, which now give the park much of its shade.
