Sanctuary Park.

An inner city urban sanctuary of sweeping grasses and flowering native planting, shaded seating and tiered gathering spaces, open to all and home to events throughout the year.

A subtropical laneway experience

Five laneways immersed in rainforest-inspired planting, with tree ferns, bird's nest ferns and native vines creating depth, shade and discovery.

The laneways.

Built from around 240,000 red bricks in homage to the historic South Brisbane brickworks, designed to age gracefully and grow richer over time.
