New Farm Park is home to afternoon barbecues, tai chi classes, croquet games, live arts, weekend farmers markets, moonlight cinema and glorious lazy picnics. The historic New Farm Park on the banks of the Brisbane River boasts a children’s playground, barbecue facilities, tennis courts, soccer grounds and basketball courts. Among the leafy greenery, old fig trees, purple jacaranda blooms and beautiful rose gardens lay out a picnic blanket on the grass, kick a ball, read a book or simple enjoy a stroll in the park.
