Brisbane City Council - New Farm Park

New Farm Park is one of my favourite parks in Brisbane. It is an ideal spot to get together with friends, to share a picnic and to relax under the shade of the Moreton bay fig trees. Since Powerhouse opened, New Farm park has undergone significant upgrades and in 2018 will undergo more upgrades after the Commonwealth Games. The park has 200 parking spaces but I recommend that you travel by ferry, bus or bike. The variety at the park is great. There's long patches of lawn so you can kick the ball around, play frisbee, and run around. There is a fantastic playground for children of all ages. There are quite a few BBQs, and most often people are willing to share the BBQ after they have used. With regards to seating there are a lots tables in the shade along the river. You can hire bikes but be warned City Cycles has changed and for casual pass you now need a $50 deposit (obviously people abused the system) per bike hire. New Farm park is popular among young people which is a joy to see. It is also popular with families. The council runs regular activities from the park and you can get involved in a few activities from here. Spend the day, you won't regret it.
