About the project
Brisbane City Council is creating more to see and do in a city that is clean and green, so you can enjoy Brisbane’s beautiful climate while connecting with the people and places that make our city great.
Based on the award-winning scooter track in Kedron’s Bradbury Park, Council built new scooter tracks in Paul Conti Park, Shaftesbury Street Park, Kathleen Street Park and Wittonga Park to create more recreational opportunities for the community.
As Richlands, Hemmant, The Gap and surrounding areas continue to grow, it is important to ensure that our parks continue to meet the recreational needs of residents and visitors, and Council is looking to enhance and diversify the recreational opportunities in these popular green spaces to ensure they cater to a broad spectrum of the community.
Paul Conti Park, Shaftesbury Street Park, Kathleen Street Park and Wittonga Park each currently serve as a hub of active opportunities for groups and individuals within the community, and Council will continue to support these groups and facilities so they can maintain an active presence in the park.
