Funderwood Hollow, located within the park, was constructed using sustainably sourced Australian timber to mimic a natural woodland environment.
The park's lagoon is part of a larger catchment management system designed to filter stormwater runoff before it enters the local creek system.
The facility serves as a major trailhead for the broader Daisy Hill bushland trail network, which spans over 600 hectares.
The site hosts a diverse range of native bird species, making it a recognized location for local amateur birdwatching.
The park grounds were historically part of the broader Priestdale district, which shifted from agricultural use to community recreational land in the late 20th century.
Underwood Park is a sprawling recreational space in Priestdale, Queensland, serving as a significant ecological and social hub for the Logan City region. The site is centered around a picturesque lagoon that functions as a natural drainage basin and bird habitat. The park features an extensive playground complex, including the notable Funderwood Hollow, which utilizes natural materials to create a forest-themed adventure environment. It provides extensive facilities for group gatherings, including multiple sheltered picnic spots and barbecues. The area is connected to a network of walking and cycling trails that traverse the adjacent bushland. Dedicated off-leash dog exercise areas are provided within the grounds. The park serves as a primary access point to the Daisy Hill Conservation Park network via shared paths. Recreational amenities include basketball half-courts and wide open green spaces suitable for field sports. Maintenance and management are overseen by the Logan City Council.

Bring insect repellent, as the lagoon area can attract mosquitoes during humid months.
Arrive early on weekends to secure a covered picnic table near the playground, as these are first-come, first-served.
Wear closed-toe shoes if planning to hike the connecting trails into the adjacent bushland.
Do not attempt to swim in the lagoon, as water quality fluctuates and it is not monitored for human contact.
Dogs must be kept on a leash unless within designated off-leash zones; all rubbish must be carried out if bins are full.
