We want your input to help shape the design of a new park.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of shaping a new park that will provide for future generations in this growing community.

The Akers Road Park (20-32 Akers Road, Lawnton) will replace the much smaller Allsop Park (9-11 Allsop Street, Lawnton) which will eventually be decommissioned. This new park will provide more than ten times more open space for the community to use for play and recreation.

The below draft schematic design has been created to guide discussions, encourage feedback and inform the community on what could be included in the space.

To better understand current and future needs, we are engaging with park users and neighbours. We have engaged consultants Fourfold Studio to assist us with this work.

This project is proudly funded by the Queensland Government’s South East Queensland Community Stimulus Program in association with City of Moreton Bay.

How can you get involved?

1. Have your say on what the design should include in the quick survey below – open until 4pm 25 June. You can also describe your vision to us in the ‘big ideas’ box below.
2. Come and meet the project team in person at our pop-up event ‘The Akers Road Park Imaginarium’ where we’ll have free games for kids, fun activities and a sausage sizzle. You can speak to the project team, get more information and share your ideas. We’ll be in Akers Road Park, at the end of Allsop Street from 9am – 12pm on Saturday 7 June 2025.

I’ve filled out the survey, what happens next?

Your insights will help shape a concept design for the park that responds to the needs of its community. A concept design will be released for further community input in late 2025.
