New Farm Park, Riverfront park in Brisbane, Australia

New Farm Park is a 15-hectare (37-acre) heritage-listed public park at 137 Sydney Street, New Farm, on a bend of the Brisbane River. Designed by Albert Herbert Foster and built from 1914 to 1950 by Gladwin Legge & Co., it is bounded by Brunswick and Sydney streets and adjoins the Brisbane Powerhouse arts centre and the New Farm Park ferry wharf.

The land was a farm from 1827, when Captain Patrick Logan had convicts clear it and grow maize, potatoes, pumpkin and corn. A racecourse opened in 1846 and operated until 1913, when the Brisbane City Council acquired the site. The park, designed by Albert Herbert Foster, was created in 1914 but officially opened by Governor Hamilton Goold-Adams only in July 1919 because of World War I.

The area was called Binkin-ba by local Aboriginal people, meaning place of the land tortoise, before the park existed. The park adjoins the Brisbane Powerhouse arts precinct at its eastern end, and the New Farm Park ferry wharf sits within the park, linking it to the Brisbane Riverwalk from Newstead to Toowong.

Access is straightforward with regular bus services and ample parking available on site. The location is just a short ferry ride away from Brisbane's central business district.

A wooden fortress playground winds through mature fig trees, creating multiple levels of exploration for children near the river. This climbing structure becomes a favorite spot where kids spend hours discovering different routes and hideouts.
