#smileBrisbane

Hello Brisbane residents! We recognize that this is a complicated time and we want you to know that you're not alone and we are here for you! We are a resilient community founded on neighbors helping neighbors. We believe that recreation comes to the rescue in some of life’s most difficult times. We are champions of the human spirit and that doesn’t change despite what is happening around the world. We began #smileBrisbane as an initiative focused on continued service to our residents that intends to combat social isolation and support community health & wellness during the shelter-in-place orders. As policies and guidelines continue to change, we are adapting our services to meet the needs of our community with safety in mind. Don't forget to keep smiling!

Brisbane has an extensive system of parks, trails and recreational facilities. They range from well-manicured parks with play structures, to quiet trails. The Parks and Recreation Department manages these facilities, and with help from the Public Works Department to keep the parks nicely mowed and free of debris, are able to offer the Brisbane community a wide selection of programs for all ages. Citizens can offer input regarding Parks and Recreation to the City through the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Youth Advisory Committee.
