Centenary Place, Heritage-listed park in Fortitude Valley, Queensland, Australia
The 8,748-square-meter park features a ceremonial archway leading to a central pathway lined with monuments, trees, and stone signage walls along Wickham Street.
The Brisbane City Council established Centenary Place between 1924 and 1925 to mark 100 years since European settlement, making it their final project before Greater Brisbane formed.
The park contains monuments of Thomas Joseph Byrnes, the first Queensland-born premier, and Robert Burns, which serves as a gathering point for Scottish community celebrations.
Visitors can access the park from multiple entrances on Wickham Street, Ann Street, and Gotha Street, with various public transportation options nearby.
The park includes mature specimens of poinciana trees, weeping figs, Canary Island date palms, Queen palms, and wine palms that create a tropical landscape.
