Parks Alive

Overview

Two days. One park. Plenty of outdoorsy things to do. Whether you're keen on grabbing some gardening tips while you're surrounded by one of Brisbane's best displays of public plant life, or you're eager to relax on the grass while eating food truck grub, Parks Alive has something for you.

Indeed, offering something for everyone is what this annual celebration of Roma Street Parklands is all about — because that's what the park is about as well. Coffee cup recycling classes, plant clinics manned by experts, brass bands playing everything from The Beatles to Bacharach, bush tucker walks, meals-on-wheels galore: they're all on the bill.

Indeed, even though there's never a bad time to soak up the splendour of Brissie's parks, there's never been a better time to get to Roma Street. Free fun and Brisbane sun combine for a chilled day in the outdoors — and a chance to channel your inner Leslie Knope, obviously.
