Geography


Holland Park is located 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south-east of the CBD,[3] and borders Greenslopes, Coorparoo, Carina Heights, Mount Gravatt East and Holland Park West. It is mostly residential, with some commercial areas along Logan Road.


Holland Park is an older suburb made of largely post-World War II wooden homes. Logan Road bisects the slightly hilly suburb. Trams operated by the Brisbane City Council operated along Logan Road until 13 April 1969. There are a number of schools and parks in the suburb and a retail zone with shops and a public bar. It is also home to the Mount Thompson crematorium, Queensland oldest crematorium.



History


The Holland Park Library opened in 1980 with a major refurbishment in 2015.[5]



Toponymy


Holland Park owes its name to the late Mr. Julius Holland, who, for many years, owned a large area of scrub
land which he had bought on speculation. The estate stretched from what is now Abbotsleigh Street to the vicinity of Arnold Street, and from Logan Road back to Cavendish Road. In 1882, Julius Holland sold "Holland Estate". These 150 acres of scrub, in the true sense, was Holland Park proper; but as estates in the vicinity also adopted the Holland park name, an elastic meaning has been given to the name, and a much more extensive area is now comprehensively known as Holland Park.[6][2]

It caters for students from Prep to Year 6.[7] The school opened on 23 January 1956.[8] The suburb of Holland Park also has several other schools within its boundaries.
