New Farm Park, Brisbane

Amazing park for picnics, summer drinks and gatherings with friends. Parking is a bit chaotic and very difficult to find a space if you don't get there early enough. There's a few shaded areas under the trees and some very pleasant views of the surrounding gardens and city skyline. Markets are not too far away at the weekend and there's several children's playgrounds, toilet facilities and places to explore. Definitely one of the highlights near the CBD!

Great park for a picnic with friends! We recently had a group of about 20 people gather for a Christmas picnic. We arrived early to get a spot on the water under one of the trees. Still lots of parking if one gets there early. Views lovely, river breeze helps on a hot day. The Powerhouse is right there should one wish to visit, and the coffee cart is still going in spite of all the roadwork & improvements underway. Would be even more amazing if the toilets are upgraded, as they're not pleasant especially on a busy day. Well worth going to the park, though!
