A first date idea
New Farm Park by the river
New Farm Park dates from 1914 and has rose gardens, jacarandas, open lawns and views of the river and city. It is open daily from 8:30am to 11pm, with a coffee kiosk and its own CityCat and ferry terminal. Brisbane Powerhouse is next door if you want to stay on for a show.
