As the title suggests, there are some beautiful water features to look at. There were plenty of amenities and shady spots to sit and relax, as well as the convenience of a short walk to Roma St train station.

I was lucky enough to stay not far from these parklands for a bit. And was able to take some regular walks through the vast paths that wind around. It was fun to take a new turn and get a little lost, just to discover a new path to a different part of the parklands. I usually went in the mornings or later evenings, so the Spectacular Garden was always closed. I made an effort to go later on a Sunday morning and it is well worth the effort! They always have amazing plants throughout & sometimes the entry display is phenomenal!

Gardens and parkland are well kept and neat and tidy. Plenty of open spaces and great place to chill out and relax.

Yesterday I went for a lovely walk around the Roma Street Gardens and thoroughly enjoyed my time there! It is well worth a visit at present. Many of the gingers are in flower and there is still plenty of colour to enjoy. Some gardens are currently being replanted but there is still plenty to see. Highly recommended!

Love this peaceful green location in Brisbane . The layout is stunning and there’s also a great cafe to check out close to the train station called Garden Room . Definitely not to be missed if you want some quiet time or pleasure walk among the gardens

Quiet retreat in the middle of the city to walk through without city noises. Gardens were a good indication of QLD flora.

We arrived in Brisbane 4 hours before the Spirit of Queensland departed and we’re looking at a kiosk lunch. But we found our way out of platform 10 to Parklands and discovered ‘Enchanted Garden’. What a lovely place to eat drink and ‘while away’ a couple of hours.

Of the three Gardens that we visited in Brisbane, we agreed that Roma Parklands was simply stunning. It's an amazing transformation of an old rail yard, produce market and the historic Albert Park to gardens that are considered one of the best contemporary display gardens in Australia. It is described as a" horticultural experience showcasing unique sub-tropical vegetation in comparative displays with other species from around the world." It is indeed spectacular and enchanting with the amazing displays, manicured lawn areas, lake and water features, bridges and monuments. Strategic seating allowed us to sit and admire the creative displays, a photographers paradise. We visited on the Tuesday, just wished that we had been aware of the Parkland Explorer which provides a scenic train ride through the park Wednesday to Sundays inclusive.

Everything that you want from a walk in the park is there. Lovely fountains, relaxed atmosphere, not noisy at all, and greenery everywhere. A good pick for a picnic brunch!

Roma street parklands are a great place to take the kids for the day. There are plenty of walking paths through rainforest, flower beds, trees and around the central lake. There is a great café on site that does good food and drinks. There's plenty of open grassed area to let the kids run around and kick a ball etc. There's a fair amount of paid parking right next to the parkland. From memory it was $17 for a full day of parking. Great place in cooler weather to have a picnic/day out

What is the entry fee?
KJade

Yes, free. Parking is limited and you have to pay. You can jump on the train and get off at Roma Street station then you have a short walk to the Parklands. Cafe is expensive and not worth it, so take your own....cheaper and nicer to have your own picnic.

How much for parking on Sunday?

Parking varies on different days. If you train it to Roma Street is is not a far walk from the station. The parking can be on the streets around the grounds at meter parking or in the parklands.

visitbrisbane website tells me "Parking is available at a number of locations throughout and adjacent to the parkland. There are nearly 200 car parking spaces (including 11 disabled car parking bays) within Roma Street Parkland. Car parking spaces are located at College Close Car Park and along Parkland Boulevard. Undercover car parking is also available within the residential apartments complex. Parking fees vary during the week and weekend."
Are there any basketball courts/half courts at the Roma St Parklands?

None that I saw. And actually, I haven't seen any b-ball courts within probably 3-mile radius of Roma Street Parkland.
