Newstead Park is a significant historic park.

The land originally formed a part of the land purchased by Patrick Leslie in 1845 on which he built Newstead House.

In the 1920s the Brisbane City Council constructed an electrical substation for its tramway system in the grounds of the House.
Since the closure of the tram system in 1969 the substation was purchased by the Newstead House Board of Trustees and has been used as a Resource Centre and offices for management staff.

In May each year the park is host to the commemoration of the Battle of the Coral Sea.
The Australian-American monument in the park is dedicated to the United States service men and women for helping in the defence of Australia during World War II.

A playspace featuring an "Alice through the Looking Glass" theme has been developed by the Brisbane City Council is located on the southern side of the park, near Newstead Avenue.
