Logan Village - Beenleigh

Residents and visitors alike can explore the City of Logan with a number of self-guided public art and heritage trails to follow.

Logan is rich in heritage with historic houses, churches and cemeteries to discover as well as a growing collection of public artworks throughout the city to celebrate Logan’s heritage and cultural diversity. 

The first of the public art and heritage trails travels from Logan Village to Beenleigh with more than 20 interesting sites along the way. Use the interactive map provided by Logan City Council or customise your own tour.   

Commencing at Logan Village, a highlight of this trail is Forest of Memories, an art instillation featuring historic figures from Logan’s past, which illuminates from sunset to sunrise.
