Grey Gums Picnic Area is one of the quieter picnic spots in Mt Coot-tha Reserve, surrounded by tall eucalyptus forest and walking tracks leading deeper into the bushland. Picnic tables, open grassy space, toilets, and nearby trail access make it a common starting point for walks like the Eugenia Circuit and West Ithaca Creek trails. The surrounding forest canopy also provides more shade here than many of the exposed ridgeline areas elsewhere in the reserve.
