Brisbane Forest Park, Protected area in Queensland, Australia
Brisbane Forest Park extends across 250 square kilometers of mountainous terrain with eucalyptus forests, reservoirs, and lookout points over Brisbane city and coastal regions.
The park received official protection status in 1977 through the Brisbane Forest Park Act, following initiatives from the Brisbane National & Recreation Park Committee.
The Turrbal Aboriginal people maintained deep connections with this land, utilizing natural resources along Enoggera Creek before European settlement began in the 1860s.
Visitors access the park through The Gap suburb entrance, where Walkabout Creek Wildlife Centre provides information about twenty designated walking trails and points of interest.
The Enoggera Reservoir, constructed in 1866 as Queensland's first municipal engineering project, now serves as a recreational water body within the park boundaries.
