Zig Zag Park is generally well-regarded by visitors for its peaceful atmosphere and scenic views of Gympie. Many reviewers appreciate the park's role as a memorial to miners, noting the impressive stone work and tidy gardens. While some find the park a bit neglected or steep, others mention that the slope is gentler than it appears and worth the short hike. A common point of praise is the availability of shaded seating, making it a great spot for a quiet lunch or a meeting. However, multiple visitors pointed out a significant lack of rubbish bins, advising others to take their trash with them. Additionally, the park is noted as not being particularly accessible for those using wheelie walkers or with limited mobility.
