Brisbane's Green Belt Walks & Rides

Cutting through Brisbane's suburbs are the green belts - a fantastic network of secret pathways that run alongside creeks, pass through parklands, and inter-connecting suburbs, great for both walks and off-road bike rides:

Carindale To Minnippi

Couple walking along foot and cycle path in Minnippi Parklands next to lagoon.

One of Brisbane’s most charming walk/rides is buried in Eastern suburbia and leads to an ancient lagoon

Cycling path next to rural filed in Alderley Brisbane

This path of approx 8km return has a surprisingly rural feel, twisting along Kedron Brook via old farmlands.

Whilst this 4km return ride is low on scenery it is nonetheless a flat and safe pathway interspersed with a couple of inviting playgrounds and easily doable by younger children or less experienced riders.

Kedron Brook Bikeway surrounded by fields and sky

This is a family friendly jaunt of around 25km return through foreign landscapes that can be enjoyed by one and all regardless of biking prowess.

This 4km return creek side jaunt follows a shady flat paved path to Northey St City Farm

This 6-7km return trail cuts a green swathe through the inner west and north, taking in wooded glades, parklands

Creek and paper bark trees inside Sheep Station Gully in Algester

This short shaded walk of roughly 2.5 km return cuts a swathe through and alongside a secret forest

Creekside Park is at the heart of a pleasant and serene 1-hour green belt walk connecting the back streets of Kenmore to Brookfield, and one that is a bit of a local’s secret
