Pallara District Park is prominently located at the front door of the new Pallara residential development. This large open space plays a pivotal role within the community’s open space strategy and facilitates healthy living and a positive community culture.
Urbis worked in collaboration with Brisbane City Council and Stockland to deliver this park from concept design, through detail design and construction. The park is a true, feel-good story, having turned an site seemingly incapable of development into a fantastic new facility for a growing community. The site was an existing Brisbane City Council, contaminated landfill site, which required a strategic and considered design methodology, as well as rigorous site testing and preparation.
The park’s overall design rationale was underpinned by key objectives to create a healthy, active and educational lifestyle, in an environment offering a variety of innovative and engaging activities for family members of all ages.
Key features include a 10m tall, central play tower within an activity-mound playground, a learn-to-ride bicycle circuit, outdoor fitness equipment, large community shelters with BBQs, sports field with informal terraced seating, public toilet block and dog park.
“A park full of activity, adventure, sport and education. An innovative & positive design solution, delivered on a site previously unable to be developed.
