Bulimba Riverside Park — Attraction in Brisbane City

Look, it's a nice spot... close to the river, decently well maintained, etc.

The parking is also atrocious. There is a one-way street down the edge of the grounds, which is supposedly meant to accommodate two cars moving in opposite directions, unlikely.

It seems the local residents don't value the park very much which is a shame when other areas have to go without one. The local council could also maintain it a little better, I'm not sure how such an expensive area has such poor...
