Langlands Park has been a venue for organised and passive recreation since the time of World War I. Purchased by the Shire of Coorparoo in 1915, the land was soon improved and became a popular sporting ground. The Memorial Gates on Panitya Street, designed by architect George Marshall, built by A. G. Sproules and opened in 1921, are a poignant reminder of the impact of World Wars I & II on the district and are valuable for their own visual integrity and for their contribution to the streetscape. A 150-seat grandstand was erected in 1937 for the Eastern Suburbs District Cricket Club, and is a fine example of an early twentieth century spectators’ stand in a suburban park. The Park is highly valued by the residents of the district as an open, green space and supports many local sporting and recreational organisations.
