Raymond Park

Raymond Park is a neighbourhood green space in the heart of Kangaroo Point, with a practical mix of facilities for a relaxed visit. The park includes picnic facilities, electric barbecues, a drinking fountain, accessible toilets, a playground and a car park. A dedicated dog park is also available, including a separate area for small dogs, making it a useful stop for local dog owners as well as families.

The park’s most distinctive feature is its history. Two heritage-listed World War II air raid shelters stand at the eastern and western ends of Raymond Park, offering a tangible reminder of Brisbane’s wartime past. They give the space more character than a standard suburban park and are worth seeking out while walking through the grounds.

Raymond Park is open 24 hours a day and can be reached at 184 Wellington Road, Kangaroo Point. Free parking is available at the onsite car park on Baines Street. The surrounding Kangaroo Point park network is connected by walkways and shared paths, while the broader riverside area offers walking and riding routes, river access and links towards South Bank and the CBD via the Kangaroo Point Bikeway.

With a playground for children, picnic and barbecue facilities for casual gatherings, and an off-leash-style dog park area that caters for smaller dogs, Raymond Park suits everyday outings rather than formal events. It is a sensible choice for a family break, a picnic, a dog walk or a short visit focused on Brisbane’s local history. Visitors looking for major river vistas, abseiling or bookable event sites should explore the other parks in the Kangaroo Point precinct, as those features are described for locations elsewhere in the group.
