Roma Street Parklands
At the center of Brisbane,
Queensland is the biggest subtropical garden
in any city center in the world: the
breathtakingly beautiful Roma Street
Parkland.
The park is easily accessible as it is close
to the Roma Street Station and the Brisbane
Transit Center.
There are a number of
pedestrian walkways linking the park to
various points including the Roma Street
Station, Albert Street and Albert Park in
Wickham Terrace. A car park is also provided
for visitors, and it has road access from
the Wickham Terrace-Gregory Terrace-College
Road intersection.
The park holds several recreational areas
and themed gardens where visitors can lose
themselves in
the beauty and tranquility
of nature. A series of pathways and
boardwalks along gushing waterways are
interspersed around the park. Apart from
being a recreational spot, the park also
serves as an exhibit space for a collection
of masterpieces by local artists.
Development for the current Parklands began
in 2000. It opened to the public a year
later in 2001. Today, Roma Street Parkland
holds a vast range of Australian subtropical
flora and fauna. The park’s diverse array of
seasonal horticulture and its eye-catching
collection of lizards, birds and fish keep
the landscape colorful and vibrant all year
round.
