Are you holding a large event?

If you are holding a large event you may have received a request for more information, for example:

If we have asked for more information we need more time to assess your application.

All outstanding supporting documentation must be received by the Parks Events Team, no later than 72 hours before your event commences.   

Promoting your event

You should not promote or advertise your event on social media or other channels until approval has been granted on your application. Please notify us if you intend to promote your event.

Our permission does not give you exclusive use of the park, but we will discourage others from organising an event that would clash with yours. Your cooperation in sharing the park and its facilities with others is appreciated.

Weddings and special events

Logan has several scenic parks and gardens ideal for hosting weddings and special events. There is no fee for using a park for an event, however we cannot guarantee exclusive use.

Alexander Clark Park

Situated on a peninsula of the Logan River, the lower level of Alexander Clark Park makes a picturesque backdrop for an outdoor wedding. The lush bushland setting of this vast park is ideal for large weddings, or those after some ‘rustic’ charm.

Concourse Park

Set in the quiet streets of “The Domain” estate, Concourse Park offers a lovely bushland setting ideal for an outdoor wedding. There is also a dam with a viewing platform and gazebo.

Forestglen Park

A purpose-built gazebo makes Forestglen Park one of our most popular parks for weddings. It is located on a main road, which makes it easy for your guests to find, and is set far enough back from the road to provide privacy from passing traffic.

Forestglen Park is beautifully landscaped, which creates a romantic setting and offers the perfect backdrop for stunning photography.

Lancaster Park

Otherwise known as “The Rose Garden”, Lancaster Park is a very popular choice for weddings due to the magnificent roses throughout the entire park. Located on the corner of two main roads, this park is easy to find, however the gazebo is set back from the road, to allow privacy.

Please note that the roses are pruned from mid-June to the end of September each year and therefore there is no guarantee of roses at that time.

Logan Gardens

Situated close to Wembley Falls, Logan Gardens is an attractive landscaped park. There are many charming grassy spots under large gums, which provide ideal locations for a ceremony. There are also plenty of photo opportunities within the park.

Springwood Park

A tropical garden and lush, manicured lawns make Springwood Park a popular choice for many couples for their wedding day.

Logan West Gardens

A magnificently landscaped rock garden and feature gazebo make this an ideal location for a wedding ceremony and photos. It is located adjacent to the Logan West Community Centre, which is great for a wedding reception, avoiding the need for travel by the wedding party or guests.

Riverdale Park

Set out over a small lagoon is a floating gazebo. This creates an intimate area for a ceremony, with ample space on the bank for your guests. Riverdale Park is a large, open park and features a second spacious gazebo on the hill.
