Park Open

The Colleges Crossing Recreation Reserve is now open.  The reconstruction of the devastated park finished on Friday - and the multi-million dollar rebuilding program has delivered a fun relaxation area on the Brisbane River.

Tradesmen's picnic - Colleges Crossing

The multi-million dollar redevelopment of the Colleges Crossing Recreation Reserve is getting closer to be completed.  We are now talking in terms of days rather than weeks.  It's still very much a tradesmen's picnic area at the moment with a huge amount of work still being carried out around the park.  The fashion is hi-vis.

The cafe itself is pretty much a work in progress still.  The shade sails are up.  There's plenty of plumbing and equipment work being carried out inside.  Also a lot of suppliers waiting for the go-ahead to stock the premises up for trading.

The opening date is still in the air - we are hoping that we can put something out for Santa when he comes down the chimney.

Instead of tiles we will have concrete with designs relating to the Brisbane River etched into it.  And, the toilet blocks in the background are designed to withstand another major flood - god forbid!

Fingers crossed that the weather will be kind and not delay this huge project.  We keen to have the smell of espresso coffee wafting over the park.
