The Fernvale Memorial Park stands on the site of the old railway goods yards in the centre of Fernvale, adjacent to the Fernvale Futures Centre, and offers a children’s playground, picnic tables, car parking, toilets, and access to the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.
 The park was upgraded to its present standard in 2006 as part of the Wivenhoe Alliance legacy project following the upgrade of the Wivenhoe Dam.

The Brisbane Valley Railway survived for a century.
 The first stage, from Ipswich to Lowood, opened in 1884 and the last train ran in 1989.
 There was a time when these yards buzzed with horse-drawn carts and bullock wagons bringing in the produce of the surrounding farms to be loaded on the trains for transport to the markets of Ipswich and Brisbane.

Traces of the days of rail transport can still be seen in the park.
Some steel track remains, and a lever for switching trains to a loop siding.
 The siding led to a crane which swivelled by means of a wheel running on a circular rail.
 A hand-held rope on the 'bundle of goods' was all that was needed to guide the crane, the base of which still remains in the park, a small octagonal concrete platform close to the public car park.
 Corn, pumpkins, potatoes, fruit, timber, all manner of produce was loaded here.
A cream shed stood where the picnic tables are today, and cattle yards held beef cattle which had been walked in by drovers from outlying grazing properties, ready to be loaded into the wagons.
 On the far side of the park, bordering on Clive Street, the stationmaster’s house still stands, and the Real Estate office beside the park was originally the Post Office, collecting mail each day from the train, an improvement on the days when it came by bullock wagon.

On 7 December 2002 the 8.3 kilometres (5.2 mi) Fernvale to Lowood section of the disused Brisbane Valley Railway opened as part of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail  a 148 kilometres (92 mi) recreation trail from Ipswich to Blackbutt which provides walkers, cyclists and horse riders an opportunity to experience the history and landscape of the Brisbane River Valley.
 Each year in July around 800 people assemble in the park to take part in the Fernvale-Lowood Rail Trail Fun Run to raise funds for Diabetes Queensland.
The Fernvale War Memorial and flagpole is located near the public car park.
