A new chapter is beginning for Greenslopes as the Parkside Community & Services Club takes shape at the site of the former Greenslopes Bowls Club. The development, set to become the new home of the Coorparoo RSL & Community Club, promises a vibrant social space that brings locals together through food, leisure and community events.
Construction Progressing Ahead Of Christmas Opening
Major renovations are already underway at 131 Ridge Street, with the site undergoing a full transformation into a modern and welcoming venue. The project is aiming for completion just before Christmas 2025, giving residents something to look forward to during the holiday season.

Site foreman Ryan and his team have begun work on clearing space for one of the club’s key features, an outdoor alfresco deck. Social media updates show glimpses of timber finishes and layout plans that hint at a relaxed yet stylish environment.

Councillor Fiona Cunningham also remarked on the area’s great lifestyle and the appeal of having another local spot to enjoy a meal and drink. She noted that the addition will give Greenslopes residents a fresh option without leaving their neighbourhood.
A Club Shaped Around Community Life
The Parkside Community & Services Club has been designed with a strong focus on inclusivity and shared experiences. The new venue will feature a bistro, a casual bar, a modern café, and areas for barefoot bowls. Plans also include landscaped outdoor spaces and a green where community activities can take place, preserving a link to the site’s bowling past.


Beyond dining and leisure, the facility will offer multiple function rooms to support both private events and local group activities. Expanded parking has also been planned, aimed at easing access for members and guests.
Bringing Locals Together
The Parkside project continues the legacy of the Coorparoo RSL & Community Club, known for its role in bringing locals together. By moving to Greenslopes, the club aims to grow its reach while staying connected to the community.

Plans highlight a space for families, friends and groups to gather in comfort. Project spokesperson Chris said the venue is taking shape and that the team is excited for the pre-Christmas opening.
Looking Ahead
With the promise of new dining options, a revitalised social hub, and flexible event spaces, the Parkside Community & Services Club is expected to be a valuable addition to Greenslopes.
While the opening is still months away, residents are encouraged to register for updates through the official website. For many locals, especially those in nearby suburbs like Coorparoo, the venue is shaping up to be a welcome part of their regular routine.
