主要由三個高度不同的小丘組成,其南麓有「寶藏巖廟」所供奉之觀音而得名,山區佔地5公頃,寺內有一座嘉慶三年設立的「觀音亭」碑,已指定為市定古蹟,寺之所在之舊地名為公館,公館之由來何如。由於觀音山所形成的天然邊界,在漢人與原住民抗爭時代,公館成為臺北盆地南區邊陲的自衛據點,在觀音山上設有「鼓亭」,派人瞭望以隨時示警。觀音山又臨新店溪有豐富的水資源及動植物資源,因為一直被劃為軍事管制區,開發程度較低,其保存的自然生態體系,是提供都市居民了解自然環境的一個好場所。到了日治時期經巴爾頓先生的建議在新店溪畔設原水取水口,在觀音山麓設淨水場,並在山上設觀音山蓄水池,而臨近的山旁就是水源地。參觀難得一見的淨水設備與古蹟建築,以及砲陣地遺跡,增廣見聞。至觀景平台視野開闊,雖高度不高,但可將新店溪、河濱公園、永福橋、永和地區風光盡收眼底。
