    Hidden gem in Brisbane


    Forget your coochiemudlo island, I’m probably going to upset locals letting this cat out the bag and I apologise. Please be kind to your fellow redditors and be patient if this bench has a line up going forward

      And there are people out there who say we have a lack of quality green space. These people will never be happy

      Developers will now begin submitting their applications.

      And the Liberal Party will claim the luxury units to be built on the site are “solving the housing crisis”.

      Oh boy I could just sit on that bench and stare at that majestic pole for hours.

      Hope you like watching trains because there’s not much else to do there.

      Both the local LNP councillor and MP opened this new “park” recently. So I popped down to play with the kid only to find out it’s a spare block on the train line with a single metal bench in the sun. I was disappoint.

      Can’t wait to drop a Saturday in the 4wd at Whinstaines Roundabout in a week..

      I thought my local “vacant lot with a bench in it” excuse for a park was shit, but at least it’s got some trees.

      It does suck, but a quick look on near maps, it’s been a block of land since at least 2009. The residents probably wanted it turned into a park so council would maintain it. It absolutely does suck though

      This looks like a resumed block from the resilient housing fund. Could be wrong but it looked like the ones in ash grove.

      It feels like someone should call council and request a tree be planted lol…..just 1

      I believe Brisbane is getting/has gotten a bunch of “pocket parks” due to the resumption of flood prone dwellings.

      $5 says that plot is listed on the EMR and noone wants to spend the money to get it off for residential development.

      I see your Whinstanes Park and raise you [Stewart Franklin Park](https://maps.app.goo.gl/EjuTqMmovyE6Gyp57) – barely a patch of grass, backs onto the train line and looks over an intersection..

      Although I guess you get some better entertainment being able to watch the trucks crash into the train bridge regularly which I guess is better than just a pole…

      Better than Logan where most of the benches face walls or some ugly barrier less than 3m away. Once I started seeing them I couldn’t stop, it’s a long running joke I have with my wife. I’d planned to do a park benches of Logan calendar but never got around to it.
