Thomas Park Bougainvillea Gardens, Heritage garden in Indooroopilly, Australia.
The gardens span 1.21 hectares with two sections: a northern residential area containing former residence features and a southern lawn extending toward Brisbane River.
Henry Thomas established these gardens in 1900, developing the Bougainvillea spectabilis 'Thomasii' cultivar and maintaining the space for nearly 60 years until 1958.
The gardens exemplify Federation period design with geometric layouts, boundary hedges, designated areas for kitchen plants, and a tennis court space.
Located at 151 Harts Road, the park remains open to the public following Brisbane City Council's acquisition, preserving its original pathways and plant arrangements.
The gardens earned recognition as a Brisbane landmark in 1926, drawing visitors from across Australia to observe the extensive collection of mature bougainvilleas.
