Kemp Place Park — Landscaping in Fortitude Valley, QLD

This small pocket park is easy to miss being surrouned by busy roads and a main access onto the Story Bridge. Well kept, very green with large shade trees, seating and some interesting landscape sculptures. There is a handy pedestrian subway linking the park and Marshall Street with Ivory Street under busy Gipps Street, avoiding the dash-of-death at road level.

It's just a small green space but with some nice trees and an entrance to the underpass. Good to make an effort even though it's small

Nice little green space. Grassy lawn, shaded areas and artwork in the form of sculptures from Simone Eisner. The sculptures titled 'Primordial' are hand sculpted from concrete fondue over a steel frame was unveiled in 2009. Inspiration came from visualising the site as lush island or oasis. Within the hard urban environment. Once known as Rosetta Swamp the sculptures serve as a memorial to a primordial forest.
