The bikeway launch was a great success with many residents celebrating the launch with a free sausage sizzle and children’s face painting stall in the park.

“This bikeway link provides an important connection for the local community to Carindale Shopping Centre, Carindale bus interchange and the broader Bulimba Creek bikeway network,” Councillor Schrinner said.

“Thank you to all residents who came along to celebrate the launch of this fantastic bikeway in spite of the rainy weather.  

"I also want to thank the volunteers from the Rotary Club of Carindale and the Carindale PCYC for helping to make the launch a success," Cr Schrinner said.

The bikeway can be accessed via Whatmore Street or Gaffney Street, Carina Heights and continues through to Creek Road, near the Belmont Private Hospital

This project is part of the Lord Mayor’ s commitment to provide $100 million in new cycling and pedestrian infrastructure across the city over four years.
