Ellen Grove Parks precinct project

Brisbane City Council is creating more to see and do in a city that is clean and green by preparing a concept plan for 2 parks - Ellen Grove District Park and Waterford Road Park.

Council is committed to growing Brisbane’s active and healthy lifestyle, through improving local green spaces and encouraging residents to get out and about and enjoy our natural areas.

Project summary

About the project

The Ellen Grove Parks precinct project is providing more opportunities for sport and recreation, to relax and play, and meet with family and friends in one of the many places that make our city great.

This project is part of Council's commitment to enhance and maintain more than 2180 parks across the city, which helps residents get outdoors and enjoy our city’s unique, sub-tropical lifestyle.

Project benefits

The Ellen Grove Parks precinct project will deliver parks that respond to the needs of a growing community by providing open green space, facilities for sport and recreation and preserving biodiversity values.

Council will engage with local residents and community groups to develop a final concept plan for the 2 parks – Ellen Grove District Park and Waterford Road Park. The final concept plan will guide planning for park improvements to meet the sport and recreation needs of the growing Ellen Grove community. Council will consider the surrounding natural environmental values which will be protected and enhanced as part of the project.

Community engagement

Stage 1 engagement - May-June 2023

Council invited ideas and input from the community on the future of the Ellen Grove Parks precinct between 22 May – 13 June 2023. The community told us that they value the natural environment and greenspaces and provided ideas on recreational uses and improved safety and connectivity of the parks.
