Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking Beside City Botanic Gardens on Alice Street City Botanic Gardens is at 147 Alice Street, Brisbane City QLD 4000, near Woolloongabba. [Brisbane City Council](https://www.parksy.com/blog/appeal-brisbane-parking-fine) identifies metered street parking around the site on Alice Street, Albert Street and Margaret Street (brisbane.qld.gov.au). These streets are the closest official parking choices for visitors who want to arrive directly beside the gardens. The council information points drivers towards metered parking around the gardens rather than a named onsite visitor car park (brisbane.qld.gov.au). Queensland’s tourism guide says [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) is available on Sundays, while paid parking includes meters and car parks (queensland.com). Sunday visitors therefore have a different parking pattern from drivers arriving on other days, when the surrounding metered spaces are the relevant option. ## Parksy Parking Spaces Within 420 Metres of CBG Parksy lists six nearby private spaces, with the closest options 380 m from CBG. Two spaces at that distance are priced at $6 an hour and $5 an hour, giving drivers a choice between a lower hourly rate and a space described as available 24/7. The listings place both spaces in Brisbane. Three more spaces are 420 m away. A lock-up garage in Brisbane City is 390 m away and priced at $572 a month, which suits longer-term parking rather than a short garden visit. Show map of Woolloongabba ## Named Car Parks Around Brisbane City and CBG [Wilson Parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/wilson-parking-review-pros-cons-summary-services) operates the 126 Margaret Street car park. Its published rates include $30 online prepay, $16 with Spott, $20 for drive-up hourly parking, $22 for drive-up night parking and $22 online for weekends (wilsonparking.com.au). The facility is another named option near the Margaret Street side of the gardens. Secure Parking operates 201 Charlotte Street, Brisbane QLD Car Park. The published hourly rate is $17, while flexible early bird parking is $34 (secureparking.com.au). First Parking also lists a facility at 53 Albert Street and advertises an evening rate covering 4:00pm to 4:00am (firstparking.com.au). Free parking is available on Sundays according to Queensland’s tourism guide (queensland.com). ## Busy Times and Street Parking Rules Near the Gardens Parking pressure is strongest when Brisbane City activity increases, particularly around weekday CBD trips and major events. The gardens sit beside the central city street network, so drivers arriving at popular times should expect the metered spaces on Alice Street, Albert Street and Margaret Street to be in demand (brisbane.qld.gov.au). Brisbane City Council lists Alice Street, Albert Street and Margaret Street as streets with metered parking around the site (brisbane.qld.gov.au). Drivers using those spaces need to follow the displayed meter conditions and street signs, including the applicable time limits and operating periods. Queensland’s tourism guide identifies Sundays as the exception for free parking (queensland.com). ## Rail Stations and Walks to City Botanic Gardens South Bank railway station is the nearest station, 1.0 km from City Botanic Gardens and a 13 min walk. This route provides a practical alternative when central Brisbane parking is busy, particularly for visitors making a short daytime trip. Central railway station is approximately a 15 min walk from the site. Gloucester Street railway station is approximately an 18 min walk away. The three station options place the gardens within walking range of Brisbane’s rail network, with South Bank offering the shortest stated walk.
