TOOWONG MEMORIAL PARK

Public BBQ

Toowong Memorial Park reveals itself as a pleasantly deceptive expanse along the Brisbane River, considerably larger than its modest entrance suggests. The centrepiece WWI monument, crowned by a circle of palm trees atop the hill, offers commanding views over the sports grounds below - a reminder that not all memorials need grandiose settings to achieve dignity. The park divides itself sensibly: children's playground equipment occupies the left flank, while expansive grass fields stretch to the right, interrupted by the practical presence of Sci Fleet Stadium. Mature trees provide welcome respite from Sylvan Road's traffic hum, though visitors should note the limited barbecue facilities scattered throughout the grounds. What emerges is a thoroughly functional suburban retreat - the sort of place where families spread picnic rugs without ceremony, joggers complete circuits without dodging crowds, and the occasional croquet enthusiast finds their way to nearby courts. The toilets and covered seating areas suggest a park designed for actual use rather than mere admiration.
