Langlands Park, Sports venue in Stones Corner, Australia
Langlands Park is a sports venue in the Stones Corner area of Brisbane, Queensland, featuring a rugby league field, a pool complex, outdoor fitness stations, and paved pathways across the grounds. The different areas are clearly separated so that swimmers, athletes, and people out for a walk can all use the space at the same time without getting in each other's way.
Langlands Park takes its name from "Langlands", the residence of merchant Reuben Nicklin that once stood on the property. When the land was subdivided, part of it was kept as a sporting reserve for the Eastern Suburbs Cricket Club, large enough for two cricket fields. The Easts Leagues club building and a western grandstand were added in 1999, and a $10.1 million redevelopment in 2022 raised seating capacity to 4,000.
Langlands Park has deep ties to rugby league and serves as the home ground for local teams that play here through the season. On match days the stands fill with supporters, and the ground takes on a very different feel from quieter weekday mornings.
The grounds are easy to get around on foot, with clear paths connecting the different areas, and parking is available nearby for those arriving by car. On match days or warm weekends more people tend to show up, so arriving early makes the visit more comfortable.
The ground's record attendance, just over 8,000, was set in 1977 for a match between Wests and Easts. A later crowd of 5,000 on 11 September 2004 saw Easts beat the Wynnum-Manly Seagulls to reach the 2004 Queensland Cup Grand Final.
