Loganholme: Parks, Playgrounds and the Logan River

Loganholme is a Logan River suburb about 30 minutes by car south of Brisbane, with two big family parks, a historic old bridge site and a large shopping centre. Most people come for Alexander Clark Park on the riverbank, and add Tudor Park, a park with skate facilities, courts and dog areas, to make a day of it.

It is an easy stop on the way to or from the Gold Coast, because the Pacific Motorway and Logan Motorway meet here. The suburb is mostly houses and roads, so plan around the parks rather than a main street.

Alexander Clark Park, the best park in Loganholme

Alexander Clark Park is the one to pick if you only have time for one. It sits on Dewar Drive beside the Logan River and has a playground, picnic areas, wood-fired BBQs, toilets, a bike track, a walking track, fitness equipment, a disc golf course and a basketball court.

You can launch a canoe or kayak from the park, and there is a fishing pontoon on the river. The playground, picnic area, toilets and car park are accessible.

Gates open at 6 am. They close at 7 pm from August to April and 6 pm from May to July, so winter days finish an hour earlier.

Tudor Park on Clarks Road

Tudor Park is a Logan City Council park on Clarks Road, a few minutes from Alexander Clark Park. It has a playground, skate facilities, a basketball court, a cricket practice net, fitness equipment, a picnic area, an electric BBQ, toilets (including wheelchair-accessible toilets) and a walking track.

It has a large and a small off-leash dog area, which makes it a handy spot for a dog run and a play on the way through.

No opening hours or parking details are published for Tudor Park, so check the signs on site.

Is Loganholme dog friendly?

Yes, if you stick to the parks. Both Alexander Clark Park and Tudor Park have a large and a small off-leash area, and dogs are welcome on a leash in Alexander Clark Park outside those areas.

The old Loganholme Bridge

The old Loganholme Bridge opened on 1 July 1931 as a toll bridge over the Logan River, and tolls were collected until November 1945. It was decommissioned in 1986 when a newer bridge was built beside it.

It is worth a look if you like a bit of local history beside the motorway.

Shopping and wet-weather options

Logan Hyperdome, on the corner of Pacific Highway and Bryants Road, is the big shopping centre here, with food, fashion, beauty and kids’ entertainment stores. Trading hours vary by day and store, so check the centre’s website before you go.
