New Farm Park

New Farm Park is a 15-hectare heritage-listed public park on the Brisbane River in the suburb of New Farm, Brisbane, Queensland. Established in 1914 on a former racecourse site and opened in 1915, it is one of Brisbane's oldest and most popular parks. Notable for its large rose gardens, mature fig trees, open lawns, playgrounds and the adjoining Brisbane Powerhouse arts centre, it serves as a major recreational and events venue.

Visitors can expect a large riverside park with open lawns, shaded avenues of mature figs and jacarandas, formal rose gardens, picnic areas with barbecues and shelters, modern playgrounds, and paved walking and cycling paths along the Brisbane River. The park adjoins the Brisbane Powerhouse arts and cultural centre, has a ferry terminal on the riverfront, kiosk/cafe facilities, and hosts regular markets, festivals and community events in a flat, accessible setting.

Developed from a former racecourse site acquired by Brisbane City Council in 1914 and officially opened in 1915. Designed as a formal municipal park with river frontage, avenues, and gardens, it is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register and Brisbane Heritage Register as an important example of early 20th-century public park design in Brisbane.

A major community, recreational and cultural hub for Brisbane, hosting farmers markets, festivals, outdoor cinema and community events. The adjoining Brisbane Powerhouse, converted from the 1920s New Farm Powerhouse, is a leading contemporary arts centre, reinforcing the park's role as a cultural landmark for New Farm and the city.
