This is a really delightful area of Brisbane. We really enjoy to have a wander along under the most magnificent big old trees!!! The beautiful grassed long walking area is directly on the river. It is generally very quiet as the speed limit for cars nearby is low 50 kph. It is not usually crowded and people sometimes hang out in small groups or walk their dog. The peace is only disturbed by the occasional jet ski but the passing CityCat transport doesn't really make a lot of noise. We find it interesting to check out the artwork on each City Cat. It seems this weekend they were all the Brisbane sport teams painted vessels ie the Lions, Maroons, Reds etc.

This is such a lovely park. It has nice playgrounds for all ages with swings, slides or tube to climb. The council keeps the park in a very good condition. The grass is beautiful and clean. Trees are awesome and perfect for climbing. It also has a nice view of the river and it is great to come with friends or family for a picnic or just for having a relaxing time or party. Many people celebrate birthdays here. You can get there riding your bike or by driving. There is plenty of space to park but it gets very busy sometimes. There are toilets always very clean. There is an area for working out.

It would be hard to give this park any less than 5 stars. The mornings here are so peaceful, the feeling is comparable to a morning walk on the beaches of the Sunshine Coast. The evenings here are just as nice and have a very chilled vibe. Looking for a picnic location, put this one high on your list. There is a lot of open space so wear your Sunscreen for a midday visit.
Restrooms
Reasonably clean
Dog-friendliness
No savagery that I've seen so far, it's Westend, everyone own dogs that fit in your back pocket so chances are everyone will be fine.

Ideal!

The LNP dominated Brisbane City Council clearly doesn't like spending money on a competitors electorate. Its 2023, and the whole suburb including Orleigh Park has brown dead grass. Theres an infinite supply of water if we install permanent irrigation and use desalination - both VERY OLD technology. The toilets in Orleigh Park are an abomination, and the children's playground is routinely sprayed with Glyphosate weed killer - a probable carcinogen ("cost effective"). Thats BCC love for you. Instead, this park should be a shining jewel in an inner city environment. Appalling.

I lived near this park for about 1 year and can honestly say I visited it nearly everyday of the week for the entirety of the time I lived there. Its a large open park great for family, corporate and religious functions. Plenty of space to kick a ball around. The river runs along the whole park and the scenery is really lovely. There are two playgrounds along the stretch of park. The one with the frog tongue is better by far. Really nice layout, played tip there with the kids many times. Honestly recommend for anyone who wants to relax next to a nice quiet river.

Awesome park. It is a good picnic spot for your weekend, even the place is good for studying. Park has all basic ambience link barbecue, resting island, jogging track, not the least a good player zone for the kids. Where we can see most of children playing. The important activity is fishing too, so fishers this is the place you would like.The jogging track is also good and it is sure that a few couple of round will surely burn your carbohydrates. There are few barbecue available as compare to connected island. Note : You have to come early to occupy barbecue.

My first time there at this quiet little river front park. Perched at the southern end of West end it has public bbq's with Citycat pontoon,a few little swings for kids,plenty of shade and adequate parking.Some public exercise equipment and toilets.Great spot to pack an esky with BBQ stuff, more ideal for little kids than bigger ones.( mums and dads know what I mean) But certainly a pretty quiet spot to lunch,read a book or have a family get together. I'm not local so not sure how busy weekends may get ,keep in mind there's only a couple of bbq's.

It's fine during the day, quite pleasant in fact with toilets, childrens play area and also health and fitness equipment. It boast several gazebo style dining areas that have free to use electric barbeques and free, on street parking up to 4 hours. The childrens play area isn't very large but it has fun written all over it with a sway chair, giant frogslide and climbing bars. Sadly however, in the early mornings and late evenings it attracts a certain element you'd most likely want to avoid. I personally would be cautious from 7pm - 7am

Orleigh Park has it all...large grassed area, wonderful kids playground, adults exercise equipment, bike path to suit Tour de France training, splendid walking path and, wait for it...lots of huge trees for cool shade in summer and all this on the banks of the Brisbane River. Did I mention that there is also good parking, buses and CityCats to the park. Woo hoo...meet you there!

I grew up in the Hill End Area during mid 1950's up until the end of the 1960s and have very fond memories of living and playing around in the Orleigh Park area as a child. I still visit the area and walk around the park. It's a great place for families to visit, have barbecues, and you can catch the City Cat and joy ride to other destinations and into the city. There are Council toilet facilities that are clean and include the electric barbecues through the park. Go for a drive and check it out.

I bring my two little ones here a few times a week for a play. The Frog playground is huge and the kids love it. Lots of shade from the big trees and a combo of nature and play equipment to explore. I would feel a bit less 'on-edge' watching them if there was a little more fencing down the river end (because, of course, my kids go off in different directions!) The toilets there aren't the worst I've ever seen, but could certainly use a birthday. The park overall is very well maintained.

Really nice Park and picnic area of West End. It could certainly improve with the installation of more benches and tables as there aren't many available so be prepared to bring your camping chairs or something to put on the grass. There are public toilets and a small play area forbids which is a plus for families. There are also a decent amount of parking lots as well as on street parking available. Take some bikes or skateboards as you can go for a great ride along the river.

A very nice open park right on the river, with awesome fig trees and others to sit under. There are a handful of tables and chairs, electric cooking facilities, a toilet block and a kids playground that is very popular. It can get very busy with alot of people around on the weekend. Also a good place to see the sunset and watch the bats come out for the night from across the river. Pets are welcome although council rules state dogs need to be on lead. Fishing is welcome too.

Beautiful park - kids playground is okay, just be mindful of the beautiful Brisbane River especially with little ones as there is no gate blocking the river & them so they can fall- so parents stay off your phone's!!! Watch your little one. The only cons I have is the toilets are usually very dirty and bins are very full overflowing with rubbish. And just watch out for Glass my daughter's foot got cut open last visit...

It is a beautiful park along Brisbane River. It has slides and swings and other attractions for kids. Evenings generally see a lot of kids and parents around this place. It has public toilet, public gym, drinking water, tables and barbecue. Ideal place for spending some quality time with family. Often we find people fishing in front of the parks and kids are amused to see if someone finds a fish.

Walking along the footpath that's literally at the river's bank is awesome since you can hear the water rippling softly. Lots of exercise machine too for young and elderly to enjoy. Plenty of BBQ pits to go around too, with excellent connection by both bus and ferry to the City. Bring your own food and drinks to truly immerse in the sanctuary of Brisbane River, or come after your meal at West End

Orleigh Park is a wonderful place for picnics, barbecues, parties and so much more. It offers a huge adventurous park for all ages, with a beautiful lush green field for kids to run and play in, but also for afternoon serene picnic by the river. It welcomes traditions for all families of all diversities and is a top spot for tourists to relax and enjoy their time.

Beautiful well maintained park with one of the best kids playgrounds in the area and HEAPS of room to spread out and find your own corner. Public toilets, multiple fenced off leash areas. Long winding walking trail, off street parking that usually has space even at busy times. Ferry terminal at one end. Many scattered jetties that have public access.

Great park. Easily accessible by bus or CityCat. The park is very long and skinny along the river providing ample space to have riverside picnic. There are grills and picnic tables provided for public use. There are toilets at the South-Westernly corner. At high tide there are a few small and the occasional legal size bream to catch for the fishos.

Really love this kids play area, it’s big and shady. Good for toddlers as well. There is a swing for babies as well with extra harness. Large grass area to run or play sports for the little ones. Really nice spot to relax as well, watching the boats along the river. There are some tables and chairs. Walking path along the river away from cars.

A very long, slim parkland inside the river and a semi-major road. Plenty of parking available. Flows nicely into the end of the southern side of the Brisbane River bike/walkway. Never seen the park too busy be it the perfect afternoon or a weekend morning.
Playground
Seems to be a decent enough one
Picnic area
Plenty of spaces

A beautiful and cool park to enjoy on a hot summer's day with a friend, a little pet, or children. Plenty of parking, close to a bus or the ferry for an extra thrill. Great amenities with exercise bars for kids and adults, or just sit under a shaded bench and table and enjoy the view across the Brisbane river as the ferries glide past.

A fantastic park for everyone. Heaps of play equipment for the kids and in fact there are a number of spots along this broad walk that has play equipment. Great BBQ facilities close by. Covered pagodas. Exercise equipment for the outdoor gym focused people and all with a beautiful view. A park that suits all ages as well.

Huge park on the river with playgrounds, toilets and dog off leash areas. Heaps of on street parking and some off street parking. Heaps of grass for running around or picnics. Great for families and little ones. Ferry terminal and bus stop nearby, access to the city or further up river if you're into walking or biking.

Orleigh Park is one of my favourite parks in Brisbane. The energy of the land there is incredibly warm and welcoming and perfect for Tarot Readings. I love when the elements come out to play for example the wind picking up a card and turning it over, the birds coming to greet us or say hello ️ …

Great park for recreation and other relaxing activities such as picnics and BBQ s etc ! Riverside aspect s is great! A city cat ferry terminal is nearby! There is only a few picnic tables available so be early if you need a table Toilets are nearby! The fig trees which adorn the park simply magnificent

Awesome view, huge and great to have picnic and bbq here with family. I just passed by here last week, planning to get my family here to spend great time here. Saw some people having a great time with these place. I wanted to experience the joy I see in their eye how much they love and enjoy the place!

great view and BBQ available in 2 sights. Also 2 wonderful playground area. it is just 19 minutes from the city. I recommend this park for relaxing Sunday with the kids. However you need to be carefull for the young kids because there is no fences between the park and the riverside.

A beautiful park by the river. A few different playground sections, which the little kids loved. There are lots of trees for shade, the public toilets were ok (for public toilets) , and lots of parking on the street. We had a picnic set up and really enjoyed the park and surrounds.

Very nice pet friendly park. Bbq and toilet on site . Playground for the kids

Beautiful Brisbane April evening was spent walking by the river with family and friends. Large numbers of people were out enjoying the experience of relaxing together, sharing a picnic meal, socializing, exercising or even fishing. A great place for the body, mind and soul.

Very relaxing. It even has a table tennis court,toilets,kids play ground,ferry and gym what more can you ask for absolutely beautiful. It's very scenic as you go for a walk through the park would highly recommend everybody check Orleigh Park out you won't be disappointed.

Great park! Great playgrounds for younger kids up to 10 on both ends of park, Trees to climb, great BBQ facilities under cover, toilet facilities. Luscious, well maintained grass ❤❤❤ Offleash Dogpark. It is one of my favourite ....the favourite park here in Brisbane

Beautiful green spaces, a fantastic children's playground and accessible toilets all span along a large stretch of waterfront. So much quieter than New Farm and parking is a breeze. Loads of trendy cafes to choose from nearby. This is a hidden gem in the city!

Thoroughly enjoyed date night here by the water in the late afternoon. Great spot for families as there's a playground but enough space for everyone to enjoy. The tree lit up at night and the public bathroom was well-lit too. Only one stall had paper though.

A nice scenic area to relax and have a picnic and get out of the busy streets of the city. You can take a bus or ferry to the area. There aren't a lot of tables / gazebos to sit at so if you're a group on a busy day get there early or have blankets prepared.

On a winter day when the sky is clear and blue and the chilling air in the shade is warmed away by a step into the sun, I like to bask with a book, coffee and warm pastry. It's only enhanced by the sounds of people enjoying the park with family and friends.

Great spot for a picnic and to watch the city cats go by. They have BBQs, covered tables, kids playground, gym equipment and toilets. Need to arrive early to nab a covered picnic table though. We arrived around 12pm and had no trouble finding a car park.

Extremely popular with families with children. Playground is a star attraction and toilets are handy too. Grounds were well established and kept. Bonus points for riverside setting. Parking is on street and was limited due numbers of people there.

The perfect spot to enjoy a picnic with family and friends in a relaxed riverside setting. Plenty of tables and chairs and ample green lawns to sit and watch the sun set over the river. A most relaxing location close to the heart of the city

Beautiful park and great place to stop. Has very clean toilets - with seats too!! Great electric BBQs, playground, flying fox, skate park and adjoining public swimming pool. Lovely grass under the trees to sit on as well as shaded picnic tables.

It's a good place. Anyone would enjoy it, old or young. The park has a path to run or walk, some different playgrounds for kids, seats all the way, beautiful views to the river and large grassy areas with huge trees giving great shades.

Favourite local park for chilling and family get togethers. Park has trees for shade. There is enough space for casual sports games, flying kites and sunbathing by the river. Undercover picnic areas with clean council bbq facilities.

Really nice park to chill with river views.. can be tricky to find parking on the weekends.. 2 kids playground at the park as well.. Would be awesome if the park was bit more lit up at night..but apart from that its a awesome place!

Good park for kids and picnic!!!! Also good for parties or just hangout with friends and spent time in the morning and evenings… recommended as a nice and quite place to enjoy yourself and just see the citycat along the river!!!

My kids are so happy when I planned to visit here again after the last visit last year! We really had a great time spending our day and so much more to do to enjoy. Amazing experience really appreciate the beauty of this place.

Grade separated pedestrian pathway with picnic shelters, seating and water available. Separate bike way provides safer access between Hill End Terrace and Riverside Drive. Walking options along the river edge with new seating.

Great park! Good views, lots of space, pretty relaxing. Only problems are that it has a bit of work going on at the moment and on weekends it can be very difficult to find nearby parking. Amenities are pretty spread out too.

This is a beautiful park, with plenty of trees and picnic spots next to the river, that stretches long. There are walking and cycling paths, as well as many seating areas and benches where you can relax watching the river.

Plenty of parking. Beautiful views. However the gardens and lawns need better care. There is plenty of parking, however there are limited amenities. A great little place to go that is out of the way and away from the city.

Love this park! Went there on a whim and stayed on well past dusk, way longer than we had planned to, because suddenly at some point, food trucks came in and there was fire-twirling and all sorts of other magic. For.Real

Orleigh Park is a great place for a family picnic. Well shaded and beside the river in West End it has toilets, barbques and playgrounds. You can also hire sections of the park with exclusive use for private functions.

We loved this little park, with multiple play spaces and levels. A good range of equipment for all ages. No fences, and right by the river though, we love watching the city cats come and go. Also easy parking on site.

It's such a nice and clean park by the river. There toilets in the Eastern end and a few playgrounds. Plenty of shade under the figs and listening to the lapping of the waves from the passing Cats is very peaceful.

Nice park, friendly people, great playground for kids, bbq facilities and it has toilets. All of this right on the river. Parking can be difficult at times but it's a great place to relax and catch up with friends.

Beautiful open park by the river with great little novelties for the kids but keep a very good eye, because there is nothing between them & the river. Gazebos & free BBQ's make it a really good family rendezvous

Great little spot to chill and enjoy the beauty of the Brisbane river and the Water dragons that live there. They are very friendly and may get close but sit back and enjoy the show. Morning is best to see them.

Perfect for picnic spot! My friend organised a small party there. Beautiful weather with lots of shade areas and a children play ground. Not too many people there. Super convenience since a bus no.60 can reach.

One of the best parks in Brisbane. Great kids playground, lovely outlook and breezes off the river. Heaps of shade, room to kick a ball, barbecues and toilets. Ticks all the boxes for a lovely afternoon picnic.

The riverview of this park is terrific, however, if you have kids, you need to always observe them as the park is not protected with a fence, BBQ stations are available, bus & ferry terminals are also adjacent.

I could be a bit biased as I live in West End, but I really enjoy Orleigh Park. It's so nice to walk your dog along the river, all the facilities seem to be also in good shape. Other than that it's a park :-)

The public toilets at Orleigh Park are the worst! Up next to the City Cat stop. They clean it by hosing it out. So be prepared to wade through water in the toilet cubicle. Plus the toilet may be wet too.

Nice, tidy park located on the Brisbane River. Plenty space for picnics, gatherings, etc. Very enjoyable during the evening overlooking the city lights reflecting off the river. Comfortable river walk.

Great view, clean and not very crowded even when weekend. Last month was great and having a picnic here is a great experience. We had so much fun. Looking forward for more picnic's with the fam!

Nice park to have a picnic with the family. There's a kids playground, toilet, picnic tables, heaps of grass to sit on under the figs and all next to the river with a path to take a stroll.

A quiet relaxing place for a walk or a coffee and a look at the river . You need to pick up a coffee on the way as nothing on site .
Picnic area
Clean quiet . Great veiw of the river

Great place for the grand kids to run around and have some fun , good BBQ settings playground equipment great afternoon had by all , recommended for kids to have some fun and play a while

Love this park. An iconic part of West End with its playground that has served families for many many years. Such a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the river. And maybe an ice cream!

Great spot on the river, awesome returning bats on dusk. Lots of nice people, BBQ's and tables. Nearly always jag a carpark. Enough space to kick the ball, good playground for the kids.

Great place to sit by the river with some hot chips and relax. The steps provide a sound barrier from the busy streets behind and at night you can see the fairy light tree in west end.

We love this beautiful park. The trees are out of a movie. Very relaxing by the river. We go there frequently for both kids parties and just to have fun and ride our bikes or scooters

Relatively narrow park, with the WestEnd ferry stop on one end, the children's playground on the other. Serene environment, along the river, an oasis in the middle of Brisbane City.

This is a beautiful little spot along the Brisbane River where you can park free and enjoy all this glorious vista offers. It is my favourite spot for an impromptu midweek picnic.

Lovely park to take a long walk along the river. Playgrounds for the kids and ample shade to picnic. Numerous barbecue areas available. Kids can ride their bikes on the pathways.

Nice riverside park with ferry stop, public toilets, children's playground and views across the Brisbane River to St Lucia and Toowong. Convenient to West End and Highgate Hill.

This is a nice park with the view of the river. The playground is suitable for kids. Various benches scattered throughout the park. There is a city cat terminal as well.

Beautiful friendly park on the river with something for everyone. Two playgrounds, a ping pong table a few barbecues and beautiful Moreton bay figs and flowering trees.

Great spot for picnics! The area is quiet and not too busy, which makes it perfect to have some nice time out. There are tables, benches, water and bins available!

Nice park despite its history. Nice views of the river, a good amount of seating and an entertaining playground for kids. Parking can be a stretch in busy periods.

Always a beautiful place. So many places to sit and relax. Great place for a BBQ, morning tea, play date, family gathering and all. Stunning and highly recommended

Beautifully located park along Brisbane River. A wonderful park for so many reasons. A couple are, great for a walk & catch with a friend or just to sit & relax.

Spent our weekend here and have a picnic with my friends. Love the vibe of this park and trees are great lights up at night added a great view to this park.

Perfect spot to relax on a nice quiet afternoon overlooking the other side of the Brisbane river. We went with a few mates and grabbed our drone, super fun!

Probably one of the parks with the most beautiful sunsets in Brisbane. You can find friendly and good looking people there too - including myself …

Such a good park, especially if you wanna walk your dog. Really pretty during the sunset too, ideal for picnics. Lots of benches overlooking the river.

beautiful park by the river, lots of big trees for under shade, bbqs, gazebos with tables underneath and a kids playground park. Best park in brisbane

Beautiful riverside walk, especially at sunset. Loads of swings and things for the kids. Also good for wheelchair access. Awesome Instagram moments.

Great park. There's always something going on there! Nice atmosphere. Taichi/qigong is held there every Saturday at 9am, taught by the lovely Julia.

Hard to find a park however it has some good play equipment. Bonus because you can relax by the river and feel the cool breeze as you walk or play.

Lovely quiet Park with a walking track along the river, toilets, gym facilities, kids play area and several sitting spots. Plus free parking …

great linear park along the river. beautiful views, plus interesting playground and some public toilets. sheltered tables with electric BBQs also.

Had a work function “family day in the park”. Was a really nice place, loads of street parking, beautiful views of the river. Well maintained.

Great Park. Good spot to relax and have a great time with family/friends. There's a nice playground for kids and public toilets as well.

Good shade, kids playground and bathroom facilities near by. Not hard to find street parking (noting that this was on a weekday at 2pm)

Nice place to go. Good picnic and playground facilities. Unfortunately it was a bit wet last visit. Besides this, I would recommend.

Awesome park for kids..tonnes of grass..play equipment for big and little kids and gorgeous spot right on the Brisbane river

Lovely peaceful little park on the river front, abundance of birdlife, lovely views, and a super cafe just up Montague road.

Very nice and tidy park/playground. Plenty of shade from the trees...
Playground
Very nice

We had a great night at a beautiful location. Handy to the CityCat ferries Great for kids as well. Close to the city.

Beautiful location on the river, to enjoy your picnic whilst watching the ferries go by under the glorious trees!
