Swinging Bridge Park

Located in the small township of Cooyar, Swinging Bridge Park offers a practical stopover for travellers exploring the Darling Downs region. The park is situated on the banks of Cooyar Creek and is defined by the suspension bridge that allows pedestrians to cross the water. It serves as a designated area for camping and caravanning, providing essential facilities for short-term stays in a rural setting. Visitors often use the site as a base to explore the surrounding countryside and the local community services within walking distance. The location is approximately 25 kilometres from Palms National Park, making it a convenient resting point for those visiting the small rainforest remnant. Facilities at the site generally include toilets and potable water, catering to both self-contained and semi-reliant campers. It is a popular spot for birdwatching and spotting local wildlife such as platypus in the creek. The park remains a key feature of the Cooyar landscape, offering a straightforward outdoor experience for tourists passing through the Toowoomba region.
