Victoria Park Golf Course

Move over Victoria Park Golf Course, Brisbane City council has announced a huge transformation into a 45-hectare inner city park.

Brisbane lord mayor Adrian Schrinner announced in June 2019 the council-owned golf course will be transformed into the city's biggest new public park in over half a century with the new area of open space to include water features, woodlands and gardens.

"When you think of some of [the] great parklands across the globe, Central Park in New York City, Lumpini Park in Bangkok and Hyde Park in London come to mind for their hundreds of trees, free attractions and for offering people a green sanctuary within a busy capital city."

Cr Schrinner said the council would work with the current tenants on the project to ensure the function centre, wedding venue, putt putt course and driving range were part of the new parkland.

The new park, dubbed the Victoria Park Vision , will be the second biggest in Brisbane when completed, behind the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, and will be more than double the size of the City Botanical Gardens.
