Victoria Park / Barrambin is evolving into a natural retreat for adventure, discovery and connection with nature.

Guided by the Victoria Park / Barrambin Master Plan, new facilities are being added to the park and more will be developed in the future.

These projects will help bring the community-led vision for the parkland to life, creating more to see and do.

Catalyst works

The Victoria Park catalyst works are prioritised elements of the Victoria Park / Barrambin Master Plan.  

This project will improve the access and quality of park infrastructure and will deliver: 

  • an adventure playground with a dedicated amenities block

  • The Parkway Loop - a 2-kilometre-long, accessible pathway loop connecting visitors to key features within the park

  • upgraded vehicle access into the park off Herston Road, including a signalised intersection and new active travel entry bridge 

  • expanded car park facilities at the park's main entry

  • a park administration and operations compound

  • an extension to the existing land bridge

  • all associated works including wayfinding signage, public utility plant and earthworks for the parkland. 

These works set the park up to deliver on the Master Plan. They need to be completed first to:

  • improve park accessibility and infrastructure quality
  • deliver exciting and inclusive community infrastructure.

Completed projects

Ride the new pump track, with a beginner and intermediate track, or try the multi-use space with skateable features to build your skills and confidence. The area also includes a picnic spot and a small car park.

Relax on the Spring Hill side of Victoria Park / Barrambin in this new parkland area with space for outdoor sports, community gatherings and picnics.

You can now access Victoria Park / Barrambin directly from platform 1 of the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Kelvin Grove busway station.

Enjoy benches, picnic tables, barbecues, drinking fountains, bike racks and shelters. They’re in shady spots and at lookout points so you can stay cool and appreciate the views.

Get to the park along the Inner Northern Busway using the entrance from the Herston busway station platform.

Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games

Victoria Park / Barrambin will host the equestrian cross country and BMX freestyle events as part of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

These events have been factored into the Victoria Park / Barrambin Master Plan to ensure new park facilities can support them.
