Walton Bridge

The Gap, Queensland

LA3 has recently worked with The Gap Residents Association www.4061.org.au to develop a Landscape Masterplan for Walton Bridge Park in The Gap, Brisbane. The spaces around Walton Bridge are currently disconnected and turn their back on the river. Much work has been done to re-vegetate the water ways of Enoggera and Fish Creek by local group S.O.W.N www.saveourwaterwaysnow.com.au and now these attractive results need to be accessed and appreciated by the public in the form of lookouts, boardwalks, bridges and steps. The recovering waterways require linking back to the adjoining parklands.

Other aspects of the masterplan include a rejuvenated playspace with a new Skywalk by Urbanplay, riverside interaction areas, interpretation signage & education, a new amphitheatre and stage and a remodelled memorial plaza for ANZAC day commemorations. The upgrade of Walton Bridge is a community driven project and is aimed at creating a regional park facility compatible with contemporary family life and the needs of The Gap residents.
