Orleigh Park

Orleigh Park is a green outdoor venue in West End, Brisbane, suited to visitors looking for park space rather than a programmed attraction or hospitality venue. Brisbane City Council’s booking information describes bookable park sites across the city for private events and activities, including weddings, birthday parties, community events, corporate events and fun runs. The available setting may include open greenery, picnic facilities, riverside locations, city views or site-specific amenities, but the council information does not confirm which features are available at Orleigh Park itself.

For a private event, a park-site application provides exclusive use of the selected site for the booked period. Bookings have a two-hour minimum, and council says sites are generally available between 8am and 7pm daily. Barbecues, other shelters and playgrounds cannot be reserved and remain shared with other park visitors. Fees apply, with council listing a booking rate of $217.55 per hour and a two-hour minimum; other charges may apply depending on the activity.

Orleigh Park may suit small gatherings, organised community activities or event planners wanting an outdoor setting close to Brisbane’s inner city. Activities such as commercial events, equipment hire, classes, promotional events and gatherings involving 500 or more people require permission. Council recommends applying at least five working days before a private event, or 10 working days before a commercial activity, and advises that applications can take up to 10 business days to assess. Check the selected site’s facilities and requirements before making plans.
