Brisbane Parks

Year-round warm weather makes visiting Brisbane a walk in the park.

Get a breath of fresh air in Brisbane's parks. From parklands to manicured gardens and bushland reserves, Brisbane has plenty of options when it comes to experiencing the outdoors.

Take a break from the bustle and explore one of Brisbane's urban parks. The Brisbane Botanic Gardens presents a lush overview of Queensland's native flora and is surrounded on three sides by the Brisbane River. Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park is a riverside refuge spread across a steep escarpment. Go rock climbing and look back across Brisbane's cityscape, if you dare.

Find out what's on at the amphitheater in Roma Street Parkland or find an inner-city lunch spot in King Edward Park. Bring the kids to the South Bank Parklands to check out playgrounds, a Ferris wheel and the riverside swimming beach.

New Farm Park is a green getaway on the suburban New Farm peninsula. Outside of the city, explore the forested foothills of Mount Coot-tha to find exquisite subtropical displays.
