It's an ok Park, but I've also seen alot of rats running around at night, it's also a hub for the homeless

It's a great thoroughfare for a little bit of nature and fresh air, but the inconsistent footpaths, the stronghold of homeless tents and a somewhat perpetual husk and ibis invasion plagues what would be an entry point to the city from Central station. There is a nice touch of greenery that's well maintained, but something needs to be done for the unsightly props that dot around the outskirts.

reminds me of an old South Brisbane park before they turned it into an entertainment zone - where the original aboriginals stayed like in the old times - Belmore Park feels like one of those.
The straight-line diagonal path through Belmore Park between Pitt/Hay St corner and Eddy Avenue where commuters cross and enter Central Station is heavily used so should be no threat at night except for the small possibility of being accosted by a drunk/homeless tent dweller asking for money.
I don't go there very late at night - not sure what time the trains stop - but like most urban parks - if there's no-one else around - use your commonsense and maybe avoid dark places with trees people can hide behind - but this place is usually busy when trains are running I expect.

I remember, this used be very good park to have lunch for office workers or people waiting for public transport. The long term homeless residents have made the place unpleasant. Life is not easy for everyone and there is nothing wrong with being homeless until I found out from a colleague who cooks for the homeless people at Belmore park that some are there by choice. For example, some have turned down public housing and some have good savings to rent. I know one of former clients suffered from psychosis and lived at Belmore park when I saw him there one day.
