The River Heart Parklands brings to life Ipswich's connection to the Bremer River, which runs through the heart of Ipswich Central. The parklands are situated on a 1.2km stretch of southern bank of the Bremer River, from the Bradfield Bridge to Bob Gamble Park.
The park has been designed to ensure visitors and locals can take advantage of the great outdoors, offering boardwalks for walkers, joggers, cyclists and others on the move. The park is also a great place to discover different vantage point for the river and discover the role the river played in Ipswich's history.
Kids will love the zero-depth water playground, extensive play equipment including a spider web style climbing frame, 25 metre flying fox and the football field sized 'Discovery Forest' which incorporates features including forts, a bridge across a dry creek bed, carved wooden totems and balance beams. At night, keep your eyes on the water to see if you can spot the laser projections of our very own river creatures: Ippy, Limey & Stoney.
