The transformation of an inner-southside park into a temporary Olympic warm-up venue has again come under fire, despite assurances no homes would be resumed to make way for facilities.
Raymond Park, next to the Pineapple Hotel, provides residents with public green space and also serves as home of the Kangaroo Point Rovers Football Club.But during the 2032 Games, the park will be commandeered by athletes preparing for track-and-field events at the nearby Gabba.
“Heritage structures within the park will remain in place, and the Queensland government will work with the local football club to build a new clubhouse within Raymond Park,” he said. “We are committed to being good neighbours to the residents of Raymond Park and will work closely with the Queensland government to ensure the community is kept informed of planning and progress over the coming years.”Facebook - Amy McMahon MP
“Even people whose homes might be spared aren’t convinced. Residents I’ve spoken to this morning are still furious, and have still had no communication from the government.
