River Heart ParklandsThis recreational reserve is located on the southern bank of the Bremer River in Ipswich Central and is another fabulous destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
A local favourite for early morning exercise, the Parklands plays host to the Ipswich Hospital Foundation's popular Wednesday morning yoga class (seasonal). Beginning in November 2008, the Parklands will also be home to River Sessions - three hours of easy listening live entertainment on Sunday afternoon. For more information and dates for River Sessions, check out the What's On section of this website.
Facilities at the parklands include barbecues and undercover viewing platforms. The parklands also provide a great vantage point for viewing the evening light show which projects mythical River Creatures on to the surface of the river.
In 2008, the River Heart Parklands won the Landscape Architecture National Award in the design category.
The park is open daily from sunrise to 9pm
