Oxley Creek Common

Oxley Creek Common serves as a significant green corridor within the industrial and residential landscape of Rocklea. The site offers a variety of trails including the Pelican Island track, which winds through floodplains and riparian forests. Visitors use the space for long-distance walking, running and cycling while observing the diverse local flora and fauna. The area is maintained as a functional floodway and a sanctuary for bird species, making it a key location for environmental education and outdoor recreation. Situated near the Rocklea Showgrounds, the common provides a peaceful escape from the busy metropolitan surroundings. The Red Shed serves as a central point for community gatherings and environmental volunteer groups within the precinct. Visitors can access the grounds daily for self-guided tours or simple picnics in the designated grassy areas. Its proximity to major transport routes makes it an accessible destination for residents across Brisbane's southern suburbs looking for nature-based activities without leaving the city.
