From exciting play sculptures to heatwave busting water play, Council continues to transform the humble park into a go-to destination for families across Brisbane.
With Parks Week being celebrated from 4 – 12 March, Council continues to pursue the title of Australia’s green-space capital with more suburban park improvements underway.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said Brisbane’s green spaces are one of our most alluring features for interstate travellers and residents.
“With four young children, I’ve spent many weekends at local parks and with over 2,180 green spaces across Brisbane, there is certainly a park for everyone,” Cr Schrinner said.
“To make our park network even better, we’re investing in new sails and trees to create shade in our parks. Work is also underway at several suburban parks where we’re adding more improvements.
“Parks provide a place for exercise, meditation, community gathering and make our neighbourhoods more attractive places to work and live.”
No longer just a children’s play area, Cr Schrinner said parks are now the venue for family celebrations, exercise, and learning.
“Parks are some of Brisbane’s most popular venues for weddings, birthdays and other family gatherings, and even cater to the fluffiest members of the family with our dog parks,” he said.
“We are so lucky to have such a wide range of parks and community spaces across our city, and with more upgrades on the way we look forward to making weekend park trips in Brisbane even better.”
“I encourage residents to make the most of Parks Week by getting outside and exploring our fantastic park network.”
