Acacia Park

I used to visit Acacia Park occasionally during my uni years. It is a small leafy park tucked in on Carmody Road just outside of the University of Queensland St Lucia campus. It is the perfect place to take your study when you are sick of being cooped up in the library.
This tiny triangle is full a trees, grass and bush turkeys. There are plenty of seats and a BBQ available as well as some old playgrounds. Now the playgrounds offer little more than a cubby house and slide but who needs more than that when you have a child’s imagination. There is also a big green building snuggled in amongst the trees which houses the UQ Weightlifting Club. Unfortunately this park is not always as innocent as a park should be.
Due to its rather hidden nature from the main road, lot of trees to hide amongst, and proximity to the campus and colleges, this park often becomes a night-​time drinking spot. Unfortunately this means that there is more times than not spew stains on the play equipment and empty bottles in and around the place. This is all fine if you happen to be one of the inebriated, but not so great for the rest of us.
