Victoria Park / Barrambin Discovery Day in the Park

Overview

In the near-ish future, Herston's Victoria Park / Barrambin is set to look a whole lot different, thanks to plans to transform the site into a 64-hectare destination complete with a tree house lookout, water play gully, high ropes course, mountain bike track, reinstated water holes and wetlands, and a community edible garden. And, back in September, the Brisbane City Council revealed a new draft master overview of how it should look.

The huge redevelopment will completely reshape the patch of greenery near the RBH — and if you're keen to find out more, BCC is hosting a Discovery Day in the Park. But learning about your future hangout spot is only part of the fun, thanks to everything from live music to rock climbing.

Head along between 10am–2pm on Saturday, October 22 — entering off Gilchrist Avenue — to relax on the grass, enjoy tunes, browse market stalls and tuck into bites to eat from food trucks.

Also on the agenda: lawn games, kite making, boomerang painting, mini golf and more — some for kids, some for everyone including kidults.

Entry is free, and if you want to bring your own picnic, that's up to you.
