Home in the heart of the park

To wake up every morning, at home and completely immersed within the heart of Davies Park, is an invitation to live life outside. With six hectares of parkland, playing fields and recreation areas right on your doorstep, and West End’s riverwalk promenade begging to be biked and strolled, the scene is set for a beautiful life.

A meandering pathway leads you directly from home down to the riverwalk with its shaded picnic spots along the river.

Whether you’re seeking an evening with friends at West End’s best restaurants or discovering your new favourite cafe along Montague Road, the opportunities for nourishing and enriching experiences are infinite.

Brisbane’s best markets

Every Saturday morning, over 150 stalls take over Davies Park under a canopy of Moreton Bay Figs. It is the epicentre of West End’s thriving outdoor culture and the social highlight that everyone can enjoy.

Like West End itself, it’s a celebration of eclectic diversity, independence and the exuberant enjoyment of life. Browse farm-fresh produce from local suppliers, artisanal crafts, linger over coffee and a freshly baked pastry and listen to live local music.

From early morning, the park comes alive with amazing food, one of a kind shopping, all surrounded by superb live music, underneath a canopy of glorious Moreton Bay Figs. The West End Markets are a little bit of magic in Davies Park.

Take the scenic route

Early mornings begin with a brisk stroll down leafy pathways to the riverwalk where the dedication to wellbeing is alive and well. Runners, cyclists, Tai Chi practitioners, and a host of furry four-legged family members flow up and down this riverside stretch.

Take the opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint with a green commute by bike, e-bike, or scooter along the riverwalk. Or hop on a ferry for a relaxed river commute, it’s a wonderful way to travel to-and-from Southbank and the Brisbane CBD.

An appetite for adventure

As the night unfolds, the precinct comes alive. Acclaimed restaurants fill with diners, bars hum with conversation, and the streets glow under the shimmer of city lights. Nearby, Fish Lane turns vibrant and aglow, its street murals and sculpture, over 3,000 hanging plants and electric atmosphere drawing a crowd well into the evening. Closer to home, Hardgrave Road comes alive at night, with a mix of restaurants, bars and local gems just moments from your door.

A more cultured life awaits

From neighbourhood markets to world-class performing arts, the precinct offers something for every mood and moment.

It almost seems unfair to the rest of Brisbane that one suburb should boast such an epic share of quality cafes. It’s home to some of the best coffee going around, a multitude of breakfasts to drool over, and interiors to swoon over.
