Lang Park

View of Lang Park from Caxton St

The site of Lang Park was originally the North Brisbane Cemetery, and until 1875 was Brisbane's primary cemetery. By 1911 the area was heavily populated, so the Paddington Cemeteries Act (1911) was introduced and the site was redeveloped as a recreational site. In 1914 it was fenced off and named Lang Park after John Dunmore Lang.

Lang Park is now the site of Suncorp Stadium, home of the Brisbane Broncos, the Queensland Reds and the Brisbane Roar.

Then and now...
