About Bischof Pioneer Park

This charming park is much more than just a perfect picnic setting.  It also nurtures a slice of local history.

The park houses a riverboat built in 1884, the Maid of Sker.  Before its retirement in 1930, the Maid of Sker used to carry freight back and forth to Brisbane. Now this heritage-listed vessel adds character to this lovely park.

The Maid of Sker sits proudly in Bischof Pioneer Park in Nerang at the Gold Coast in Queensland.

The Maid of Sker is not the only historical monument within the park, with  Preece House - a heritage-listed building - also located within Bischof Pioneer Park.

Beyond the history, Bischof Pioneer Park is a fabulous park in its own right. It's features include sheltered picnic areas, barbeques, a playground and public toilets.
