Above the parking for cars and tourist buses is the aero beacon topping Mt Ainslie. Excellent views over the City and easily accessible either from the northern end of the BiCentennial Trail or via the stairs from the tourist area below. Tourist area sometimes has an icecream van but no toilet facilities. A water fountain is on the northern side of the tourist area.
