Victoria Park | Barrambbin

Victoria Parklands, Gregory Grove, Yorks Hollow

Victoria Park is a heritage-listed park at 454 Gregory Terrace, Spring Hill & Herston.

Brisbane City Council is changing Victoria Park into an iconic public parkland with something for everybody.

Council is converting the 18-hole golf course into an expansive new park.

This means more opportunities to enjoy Brisbane's beautiful climate and connect with family and friends in the places that make our city great.

The draft vision for Brisbane's biggest new park captures your ideas and shows how it will be transformed to make our city even better.

This is your vision and we want your feedback. Have your say by completing the online survey before 28 April 2020.

Victoria Park Vision

Victoria Park will become a natural retreat, an urban park for adventure, discovery and reconnection.

A Cultural Hub will celebrate Brisbane's heritage and natural environment. The park will feature native bushland pockets and waterholes where visitors can enjoy kayaking and swimming lagoons.

Architecture will mimic the landscape with suspended canopy walks and a tree house so visitors can connect with nature, day and night.

This prime inner-city location will include a community garden, giving visitors more to see and do.

It will be culturally authentic, celebrating the many layers of human contact with the landscape and the site's significance to Aboriginal people.

Victoria Park is another way we're making Brisbane better for future generations. Read about our top 10 things to get excited about at Victoria Park.

Cultural Hub

A new Cultural Hub will be the park's standout attraction. Three constructed ecosystems will transport visitors to South East Queensland's subtropical rainforest, coastal communities or other distinct landscapes to explore our cultural connections to place. This attraction will become a 'must do' for visitors seeking a uniquely Brisbane experience.

Lake Barrambin

Visitors will find many ways to interact with water. Boardwalks and trails will meander through wetlands, while small, intimate spaces and more generous multipurpose areas for gathering, events and art installations will line the water's edge. Lake Barrambin will become a venue for kayaking.

Nature and Water Play Gully

Revegetated forests, native bushland pockets and waterholes will speak of the site's original landscapes. The kids will love splashing about in Nature and Water Play Gully, which will be a series of naturalised constructed waterholes in addition to the new water play park at Centenary Pool. Some activities will be available early, while others must wait for new vegetation plantings to mature before they can be established.

Canopy Walk and Tree house

Sculptural buildings will offer a modern interpretation of traditional architecture, mimicking the form of the landscape and the patterning of Indigenous gunyahs (shelters). This grid-like structural element will repeat in the twisting form of the Tree House and its skirt that floats across the landscape. Lit at night, the Tree House will stand out as a beacon in the landscape, while the building forms grow from the earth.

Farm Gate and Community Garden

A gentle slope on the park's southern side offers an ideal spot for community gardens or a small urban farm, with a northern aspect for maximum sunshine and good access to surrounding neighbourhoods. A farm gate selling produce from the local producers as well as potential beekeeping or composting facilities will give residents and visitors more to see and do.
