Here are our favs so far - as we hunt for the perfect grassy paradise.

NewFarm Park

A park for the locals. The ultimate location for a long lunch or a boozy Sunday sesh.

Great vibes, usually busy on the weekends. Heaps of trees, ample shade, with drinking fountains strategically placed around the park.

You can choose from Waterfront views overlooking the river to the prime-time mansions nudging the south side, or a picnic nestled amougst the Rose Gardens, depending on your fancy..

Excellent spot for people watching.

Dogs on leads welcome.

Kangaroo Point

T h e v i e w s.

Sunrise, twightlight or Sunset.

Sneak a peak of the boats cruising the brown snake, or what the sunset behind the skyline of Brissy City. If you’re after the quintisennial “Brisbane” scenery / backdrop - this is the place!

High foot traffic, but v insta-worthy.

There is limited shady space here, so be sun-smart if you're wanting a daytime adventure.

Burleigh Heads Cliffs

Tucked behind the Pandanas trees, you can seek shade or the sunshine in parklands of the south Gold Coast.

There is heaps of parking spots, so watch the surf, lay on the grass, play in the rock pools - whatever you want, BH Cliffs (John Laws Park) has.

There is a fantastic Dog off-leash park and beach only a short walk from here, for our four legged companions.
