The park's miniature railway is operated by the Richmond Vale Railway Society volunteers.
The site underwent significant flood mitigation and repair efforts following the major 2022 Lismore floods.
The playground layout was designed to incorporate inclusive play elements for children of varying physical abilities.
Heritage Park is a public recreational facility in Lismore featuring a miniature railway as its primary attraction. The park is situated alongside the Wilsons River and provides significant playground equipment for children. It serves as a central community hub for outdoor play and family gatherings. The site incorporates walking paths that connect to the broader Lismore riverbank precinct. It remains a managed public space operated by the local government council. The grounds offer open green spaces suitable for picnics and informal group activities.
The miniature train tracks offer the best framing for action photos of the ride in motion.
Check the Lismore City Council website for train operation updates, as these often depend on volunteer availability.
Bring sun protection as many play areas are located in open, unshaded sections of the park.
Visit during the weekday morning hours to avoid peak weekend crowding by local families.
Do not visit immediately following heavy rainfall, as the riverbank area is prone to waterlogging.
The miniature railway operates on a limited schedule, typically on weekends and public holidays, weather permitting.
Supervision of children is required at all times; dispose of waste in provided bins to maintain park hygiene.
