A new shared pathway at Logan gardens showcases the artworks of local artists.
Signs, seats and projections along the 500m pathway, which can be used by pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles, have been adorned by three artists.
The new path extends through the garden’s south-eastern corner, connecting the Civic Parade carpark to the top of Rosny Court (off Karri Avenue).
Signs at each end of the pathway feature a dragonfly and eucalypt flower design by Rochedale South artist Rachael Lee.
Flowers stencilled onto a bright-pink seat on the pathway and colourful mosaic work on the road pavement were designed by Rochedale’s Robyn Pell.
The work of Greenbank’s Jessica Skeen-McKinnon, a First Nations artist who helped design artwork featured at the gardens’ water play area, will be projected onto the road at the Civic Parade entrance every night.
Logan mayor Jon Raven said stage one of the shared pathway would activate and improve access, amenity and safety in Logan Gardens.
“This is one of the most popular parks in this area,” Cr Raven said.
“Over time, as more homes come to this area, residents will be able to see this beautiful art from their windows.
“That’s why community feedback was so important in this process.
“It has helped council design the landscaping, seating, carparking and facilities.”
The pathway opened to all locals last Thursday.
Cyclists and pedestrians have priority access along the pathway, with vehicles limited to 10km/h.
The project is stage 1 of the pathway and car park expansion under the Logan Central Civic and Community Precinct Plan and includes public art, street furniture, improved lighting and new parking bays.
The project is jointly funded by Logan City council and the Queensland government.
