Roma Street Parkland: Brisbane’s Urban Oasis with Family Fun Galore

In the heart of Brisbane, Roma Street Parkland offers families an incredible blend of play, nature, and adventure across its 16 hectares of lush, designer gardens and open lawns. Open daily, this botanical wonderland is brimming with spots to picnic, play, and explore, making it a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike.

For little explorers, The Children’s Garden is an enchanting, child-friendly area with two age-appropriate playgrounds. In between, children can get hands-on with a veggie patch and worm farm—perfect for curious green thumbs! Younger children will love the teepees, mushroom stools, and mini log crawl, while older kids can climb the discovery treehouse, scale rope nets, or swing on the nest-style basket. The playgrounds are set within natural surroundings that feature whimsical details, like giant bromeliads, bamboo screens, and a magical passionfruit tunnel.

Families can hop aboard the Xpress Fun Train on weekends, which weaves through the park’s highlights—including the rainforest, lake, and sweeping lawns—giving a leisurely tour for all ages at just $6 per person. With free BBQs, scenic picnic areas, and child-friendly spaces, Roma Street Parkland is truly a haven for memorable family days out.
