Victoria Park / Barrambin

Victoria Park / Barrambin is a 64-hectare public park located less than 2 km north of Brisbane CBD, spanning Herston, Spring Hill and Kelvin Grove. Formerly the Victoria Park Golf Course, it is Brisbane's largest inner-city park and is being transformed into a major recreational and cultural precinct. Notable for its open parklands, heritage fig trees, wetlands and city views, it serves as a key green space for recreation and community events.

Visitors can expect expansive open lawns, mature fig trees, wetlands and landscaped gardens with views toward the Brisbane CBD. The park features sealed and unsealed walking and cycling tracks, picnic areas with barbecues, adventure playgrounds, a pump track and off-leash dog areas. The former golf clubhouse area and parkland provide open space for informal recreation, while interpretive signage reflects the site's history and Aboriginal cultural heritage.

The site was established as Victoria Park in the late 19th century and operated as Victoria Park Golf Course from 1931 until 2021, one of Brisbane's oldest public golf courses. The parkland has served as public recreation reserve since the 1800s and is undergoing transformation under the Victoria Park / Barrambin Master Plan by Brisbane City Council to restore natural landscape and public access.

Barrambin is the Turrbal name for the area, meaning 'windy place', reflecting its significance to the Traditional Owners, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples. The dual naming recognises Aboriginal cultural heritage and connection to Country. The park is valued as a major community gathering and recreation space for Brisbane residents.
