MEMORIAL HILL LOOKOUT

Public BBQ

Memorial Hill Lookout commands sweeping views across Parkes and the surrounding farmlands from its elevated perch beneath the town's most recognizable landmark - the 33-metre Shrine of Remembrance. The beautifully maintained memorial gardens provide a serene backdrop for contemplation, though the manicured plantings do partially obstruct some vantage points. Visitors can glimpse the airport runway alongside the rural panorama. A sheltered picnic table offers respite for those bringing their own barbecue provisions, making this a unique spot to combine remembrance with outdoor dining. The well-kept grounds invite leisurely exploration, though families should note that toilet facilities and playground equipment require a short drive from the memorial site. This elevated position delivers both historical significance and practical picnic potential in one of Parkes' most scenic locations.
