Abbeville Street Park upgrade – Upper Mt Gravatt

Link copied

We’re improving Abbeville Street Park in Upper Mount Gravatt to support a growing community with quality places to play, relax and connect.

We’ve developed a final concept plan to guide future improvements to Abbeville Street Park in Upper Mount Gravatt.  The plan reflects what you’ve shared with us and explores ways to enhance the park. It ensures the park remains a welcoming space for the community well into the future.

The upgrade proposes:

  • a fitness station with seating walls
  • accessible pathways and improved connections
  • picnic shelter, water bubbler, viewing area / seating node
  • amenity block
  • playground revitilisation
  • multi-use sport court
  • rebound wall
  • native understory planting.

Planning for the Abbeville Street Park upgrades will continue in 2026/27. Project delivery will depend on future funding availability, subject to citywide priorities. Thank you to everyone for your feedback and continued support.

Initial consultation

In our early engagement in November 2025, you told us how much you value the park, facilities and playground area. You also shared helpful ideas about how the space could be improved.

Draft concept plan feedback

We used this feedback to develop a draft concept plan. We shared the draft concept plan with the community during consultation in June 2026.

The draft explored a range of ideas to guide future improvements including:

  • upgrading the playground equipment for increased play value
  • accessible pathways for recreation and connection
  • multi-use sports and fitness facilities
  • a new toilet block to support parties, social gatherings and longer stays.

Feedback from the consultation included:

  • support for seating, BBQ areas and picnic facilities, as well as the addition of bins and water bubblers
  • suggestions to address flooding in the dog park area and along the paths
  • suggestions to include more recreation options, including a rebound wall, playground improvements and fitness equipment
  • mixed views about including an amenities block:
    • many supporting that it would allow visitors to stay and enjoy the park for longer
    • others expressed concerns about the potential for anti-social behaviour or vandalism
    • concerns about where the block will be located were also noted.

We aim to balance local priorities with broader community benefits, both now and into the future.

  • November 2025: Initial community consultation and ideas gathering.
  • Early 2026: Site investigations and preparation of the draft concept plan.
  • May 2026: Draft concept plan released for community feedback, including online consultation and in‑park information sessions.
