Toowong Harriers athletics club leases Jack Cook Memorial Park from the Brisbane City Council. To assist with the considerable cost of maintaining the facility, we take bookings from other sporting, community and social groups for use of the field. We do not charge for individual recreational use. However, users do so at their own risk and must make way for club activities and bookings. The park facilities are broken into several individual areas and these may be hired independently of each other or as a complete park and facilities. Athletics equipment is available for all athletics disciplines; throws, jumps and track etc.
Park Facility is divided into several areas within the park as defined below;
- Partial In-Field (tartan high jump fan, northern end)
-
In-Field Complete (all area within the running track)
-
Partial Out-Field (tartan long triple jump runways)
-
Track Only (all running track area excluding in-field)
-
Track & Field (including in & out-field and associated clubhouse access).
