The Bill Brown Sports Reserve is named for William “Bill” Brown OAM (1912-2008), an Australian Test cricketer, member of “The Invincibles”, and respected sports figure who owned a popular sports store in Brisbane and served cricket as a player, selector and administrator. Brown was a celebrated Queenslander, honoured for his significant contributions to cricket.

The Bill Brown Sports Reserve covers the area that was formerly the Telegraph Road and Roghan Road landfill and the former Sanitary Depot. The Reserve contains the BMX track, Emily Seebohm Aquatic Centre, Warra Animal Rehoming Centre, netball courts, dog off-leash area, the Hidden World Playground and a second dog off-leash area at Hidden World.

The western part of this reserve adjacent to Telegraph Road has been proposed for a future metro transport depot.
