Guyatt Park

Nice, small park located in St. Lucia perfect for students or residents to enjoy a view or a park or to have a BBQ. I really like this park because they have grills for people to use both if you brought charcoal or wood or electric ones where you just put your meat straight on. This is perfect for broke college students who don’t want to carry a heavy bag of coal to the park.
The park has two nice playsets for kids and lots of grass area for sports play. The most amazing part is that there is WIFI! Never seen a park with WIFI but this is a huge plus.
Overall, great park that isn’t too crowded and very easy to get to via City Cat or bus.

Guyatt Park was severely affected by the Brisbane floods but it’s since made a recovery to its fun and grassy former self. Having lived in St Lucia, I’d stroll through Guyatt Park on my way to the City Cat terminal, usually on my way to uni, and wish I could stay back and enjoy the day.
There are a few lovely, old gazebos where families can picnic on the weekends, and enough of an oval to kick a ball around with kids. The only downside of Guyatt Park is that sometimes you’ll find litter around the playground and en route to the City Cat — there are a lot of colleges around this area so that may be the answer!

Having just completely recovered from the January floods, Guyatt Park is fully functional again. A new playground has been installed, and all the kiddies from the surrounding suburbs of St Lucia and Toowong are making fine use of it.
Walking through here every day to access the Guyatt Park ferry terminal, there’s always families having BBQs and picnics around the playground, people kicking a soccer ball around, flying kites, or on the odd occasion, meditating. There’s an abundance of open, grassy space, ideal for frolicking, playing, contemplating, jogging, martial art-​ing or picking pine cones.

Guyatt Park is pobably known best for having a City Cat stop attached to it. The park makes for a lovely little escape, situated between Fred Schonell Drive and the Brisbane River and has two playgrounds as well as plenty of trees and grassy areas to relax on.
However, watch out for the birds! If you are not a fan of being swooped then stay away during Magpie season. There are also Pluvers a plenty and I swear that a Curlew tried to hunt me down during the middle of the night as I returned from the City Cat once.
Nonetheless, the park is quite relaxing when you are not being terrorised by the wildlife. There are BBQs available and wheelchair friendly toilets. Guyatt Park is a good spot for a lazy BBQ meet-​up or to casually kick a ball around.
