Kalinga Park, Public park and heritage site in Wooloowin, Queensland, Australia.

Kalinga Park is a public recreation area and heritage site in Wooloowin that spans around 20 hectares along Kedron Brook, offering open spaces, sports fields, and walking paths through natural surroundings. The site includes tennis courts, basketball courts, cricket fields, barbecue areas, and designated off-leash dog zones.

The site began as a German Mission Station in 1838, representing the first free European settlement in Queensland, before becoming a public park in 1910. This early use shaped the place's development from its founding onward.

The memorial gates made of Helidon sandstone and marble panels at Park Avenue honor local residents who served in World War I. They show how the community remembers those who died in service.

Kalinga Park runs along the southwest bank of Kedron Brook, with its main entrances on Park Avenue and Bertha Street; the eastern section borders Clayfield. Diggers' Drive, now surfaced with bitumen, curves through the park from the Park Avenue gates toward Sandgate Road. The former camp post office building stands at the western edge and is used by the Scouts.

The memorial roadway through Kalinga Park was cleared and levelled by 83 unemployed returned soldiers under the Kalinga Unemployed and Distressed Soldiers' Committee, formed in 1922. They cut 60 chains (about 1,200 m) of road following the curve of Kedron Brook, gravelled it and lined it with trees. Governor Sir Matthew Nathan opened it on 31 May 1924 and hoped trees would carry metal plaques naming the dead; the plaques were never completed.
