Many of these eastern suburbs are in an older part of town. They have many parks and sports fields in including AMI Stadium (still known locally as Lancaster Park). they also have some wonderful restaurants and Eastgate Shopping Centre is one of the biggest shopping areas on this side of town, and of course in this area are our beach suburbs centred around New Brighton with its long sweeping white sand beaches and pier. QE2 park, with its olympic -sized pools, water-slides and athletic tracks, is also east of the city- as is the Travis Wetland and a golf course.
