      Home of one of the oldest track clubs in Australia, Toowong Harriers est.1894.
      A great 400m track facility, 8 well marked turf lanes, very well kept surface, double ended tartan LJ/TJ runways, HJ Fan, Discus & Shotput circles. Amazing place to train. They allow public training for casual users at a small fee
