This huge parkland is made up of a series of parks in the Brisbane suburbs of Tingalpa, Cannon Hill, Carina and Carindale on the south east side of the city. There is so much to see and do – it is impossible for me to detail it all here. Check the council website
here.
So check out the website for details of the facilities available in the various parks around this huge area. I walked around near the canoe trail, there wasn't a canoe in site, though it was high tide in the creek.
I am familiar with the area on Meadowlands Road, Carina, which has dog parks, playgrounds, BBQs, picnic areas, parking, pathways and more, but recently I ventured into another area of the park, via Kate Street. I was welcomed by a lovely friendly magpie, with his mouth wide open, probably looking for food - but I didn't have any.
Walking is not my favourite pastime these days, but I managed a fairly good walk along a pathway, over a bridge and into another area. I met some friendly folk out walking including a little chatty girl with her scooter and parent.
If you visit the website (above) you will see the wide range of activities that are available in the park including model plans, canoeing, walking, riding bicycles and so much more.

Go and investigate - it will take a long time to see it all.
