Welcome to Dutton Park

Dutton Park on the Brisbane River is an interesting suburb with a mixture of the very old and very new.

The Eleanor Schonell Bridge exclusively for buses, pedestrians and cyclists opened in December 2006 and connects Dutton Park with the University of Queensland Campus at St Lucia.

The Dutton Park Cemetery also known as the South Brisbane Cemetery is situated across the road from the bridge and established in 1866 is one of Brisbane's earliest cemeteries.

Dutton Park was also long known for the Boggo Road Gaol which operated from the 1860s to the 1990s with only the original heritage listed Division No. 2 Gaol now remaining.

The site will soon become the Boggo Road Urban Village due for completion in 2010 with the Boggo Road busway on target for completion in mid 2009.
