I recently attended a Prep school meet up and had no idea this place even existed, let alone the quality of the facilities available for everyone to enjoy. There is ample parking available at the front and sides of HOTA, and 4hrs free parking is available on weekends. There's a bike track, walking tracks that connect to Surfer's Paradise, a BBQ area, playground area with lots of things that children can play with which is also secure and fenced, very clean toilets and changerooms, showers, and a massive lake which you can go swimming in- water was very nice temperature and even had lots of fish swimming around and jumping out of the water. Nice sandy area at the edge of the water for kids to play and put down a towel. Highly recommend if you live anywhere in the Gold Coast area to check this out. Please feel free to follow me on here, like my reviews and share my profile with your friends and ask me any questions...
