George Palmer Park

Welcome to George Palmer Park, a beautiful establishment located in Silkstone, Sealy Street, Australia. As a park and point of interest, George Palmer Park offers a serene and tranquil environment for visitors to enjoy.

At George Palmer Park, we understand the importance of a responsible budget, especially in the face of major economic pressures. That's why we have implemented a measured approach, with a rate rise under inflation, to ensure that our services and facilities remain accessible to all.

In exciting news, the Commonwealth Hotel restoration project in the Nicholas Street Precinct is now in the construction phase, following the successful completion of the demolition phase. This project is a testament to our commitment to preserving and restoring the heritage of Ipswich.

We are also proud to have hosted The Push's inaugural Queensland Music Careers Expo, where almost 150 young people gathered at the Ipswich Civic Centre. This free event provided valuable insights and opportunities for aspiring musicians and industry professionals.

As a celebration of Ipswich's rich heritage, we are delighted to present Galvanized - A Festival of Heritage. This festival showcases the trades of yesteryear through various events, workshops, talks, and tours. It is an ode to the vibrant history and culture of our city.

Exciting developments are also underway at George Palmer Park. We invite you to be the first to preview the concept designs for the new Southern Resource Recovery Centre and Animal Management Facility. These state-of-the-art facilities will bring improved services and sustainability practices to our community.

Community involvement is at the heart of what we do, and we are pleased to support initiatives like Brighter Brassall. This group of dedicated residents is taking care of our environment, one small step at a time. Their efforts exemplify the power of individual action in creating positive change.

With the arrival of spring, George Palmer Park is bursting with life. The longer days and blooming gardens create a perfect setting to Get Ready for the summer season ahead. We encourage you to make the most of our park and enjoy all that nature has to offer.

In response to the positive feedback from our community, we are relocating the popular Street Patio to the Top of Town. This move follows a successful trial period outside Oikos Café on Limestone Street in Ipswich Central. We hope this new location will continue to enhance the vibrant atmosphere of our city.

Lastly, we are excited to announce that community organizations now have the opportunity to manage one of our four council-owned community facilities. We invite interested parties to submit their applications and be a part of enriching our community.

Thank you for visiting George Palmer Park. We hope you have a wonderful time exploring our park and all that Ipswich has to offer.
