The name 'Barrambin' translates to 'windy place' in the local Yuggera language.
The park is currently one of the largest inner-city parkland re-wilding projects in Australia.
It is slated to house a new cross-country equestrian course for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.
The site includes over 100 species of trees, many of which were planted during its time as a golf course.
The park is situated on a prominent ridge providing elevated views toward the Brisbane CBD and Mt Coot-tha.
Victoria Park / Barrambin is a 64-hectare urban parkland located in Brisbane undergoing a significant long-term transformation into a public recreational space. The site formerly operated as an 18-hole golf course, which closed in 2021 to allow for re-wilding and community park development. It features a variety of open green spaces, walking and cycling trails, and established tree canopies. The name Barrambin reflects the site's cultural significance to the Turrbal and Jagera people. Ongoing redevelopment projects are currently introducing new play areas, pedestrian corridors, and event spaces. The park serves as a central hub for outdoor activity located immediately north of the city’s central business district. It is currently being integrated into plans for the 2032 Olympic Games, specifically for cross-country equestrian events.

Use the internal pathways for a cross-park circuit, as the perimeter is large and hilly.
Check the official council website for temporary closures due to ongoing construction and landscape re-wilding works.
Do not attempt to walk off-path into fenced-off construction zones or active restoration areas.
Parts of the park may experience temporary closures or detours as major construction for the 2032 Olympic precinct continues.
Maintain distance from active restoration zones and keep dogs on-leash in designated areas.
