The 7th Brigade Park is huge, apparently one of the biggest parks in Brisbane. It runs from Newman Road in Geebung, all the way through to Murphy Road and Chermside Shopping Centre.
I have only just recently discovered this park is all connected and now I've started walking through the park to the Chermside Library or Shopping Centre.
There are two playgrounds or play areas, separated by large sports fields, trees and bicycle and walk paths.
At the Newman Road end of the park, there is a playground and exercise equipment, as well as BBQ areas, shelters and lots of space for large groups. There are toilets down this end too.
Towards Chermside Shopping Centre, along Murphy Road, there's a huge play area called Kidspace. Kidspace covers an area approximately the size of 5 homes and includes a large undercover play area, electric BBQ's, toilets, shelters, bench tables and seating.
There's also a basketball ring and half court and a tennis court with a rebound wall. There is parking at both ends, and the gates to these parking lots are open from 6am to 9pm.
A network of shared bicycle/walk paths run throughout the park, and there are exercise stations along the pathway - hurdles, chin ups and sit ups to name a few. 7th Brigade Park is also dog friendly. Dogs are allowed throughout the park and there are a couple of specific off-leash areas for dogs. read more
