Golden Age: Gold Coast central park at Robina to host events around Gold Coast Titans games

THE $15 million Gold Coast central park will have a concert and events village green with room for 5000 people. And it is about to revolutionise the nights the Gold Coast Titans play at home.

The Gold Coast's new parklands

THE new $15 million Robina City Parklands will become a major community hub in the city’s centre, with plans to hold concerts and events there.

As revealed by the Gold Coast Bulletin yesterday, ground will break on the 17ha parkland this year and will include a 5000-seat village green space, as well as fishing spots, walking trails, sporting fields and a cafe.

GOLDEN AGE: THE SPIT COULD BE COAST’S CENTRAL PARK

Area councillor and city lifestyle boss Cr Hermann Vorster said the parklands would help “activate” the area around the stadium as an events space before and after Gold Coast Titans games.

“This is going to be a magnet for people who cheer the Titans on at the stadium and it is no mistake that the showcase park is called the village green — it is a hub for the community to gather in big numbers,” he said.

“It’s so people can support live music, provide cultural activation and a great civic space for celebrations which are important to the central Gold Coast.”

More than $1 million has already been spent on masterplanning the site which borders Mudgeeraba Creek.
