Bowen Park, Heritage park in Bowen Hills, Brisbane, Australia.
The 17,740-square-meter park contains ornamental flower beds, mature trees, and decorative iron arches leading to landscaped pathways throughout the grounds.
The Queensland Acclimatisation Society established the park in 1863, transforming a former brickfield into experimental gardens for introducing new plant species.
The 1914 bandstand rotunda stands as a central feature where the Brisbane community gathered for musical performances and social events.
Multiple entry points along O'Connell Terrace and Bowen Bridge Road provide access to the park's network of tuff-edged walking paths.
The park's gardens contributed to Queensland's agricultural development by testing crops like mangoes, ginger, and olives before their commercial introduction.
