Updated: May 20, 2026

Families will soon have even more reasons to enjoy Brisbane’s riverside lifestyle, with a major upgrade underway at Graceville Riverside Parklands.

Located where the Brisbane River meets Oxley Creek, the refreshed parklands will feature a new nature play space, upgraded picnic areas and a flexible community event lawn.

  • A new children’s nature play space inspired by the river and creek environment
  • An upgraded community lawn for local events, gatherings and recreation
  • New picnic shelters, seating and electric barbecues
