David McConnell of Bulimba House held the first religious services in his home.

In 1904, the Balmoral Shire Council purchased land and create Jamieson Park, named after the early Bulimba resident Robert Jamieson who originally donated approximately four hectares of land. In honour of the World War I servicemen who died in the conflict, the name of the park was changed to the Bulimba Memorial Park on 4 November 1919, trees were planted, and an honour board was mounted. Each tree was dedicated to a Bulimba serviceman, and labeled with plaques. The plaques and many of the trees are no longer there, however the Brisbane City Council and Bulimba District Historical Society are currently working on a project to replace the honour board, and plaques for those servicemen who bravely fought.{{Cite web|url=https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/sites/default/files/about_brisbane_history_avenues_of_honour.pdf|title=Avenues of honour|publisher=Brisbane City Council|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180515121543/https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/sites/default/files/about_brisbane_history_avenues_of_honour.pdf|archive-date=15 May 2018|url-status=live|access-date=15 May 2018}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.couriermail.com.au/questnews/southeast/missing-plaques-commemorating-lives-of-local-soldiers-to-be-replaced-90-years-after-vanishing/news-story/9be22ae9c378194a7f98d69a31078358|title=Missing plaques commemorating lives of local soldiers to be replaced 90 years after vanishing|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170117143329/http://www.couriermail.com.au/questnews/southeast/missing-plaques-commemorating-lives-of-local-soldiers-to-be-replaced-90-years-after-vanishing/news-story/9be22ae9c378194a7f98d69a31078358|archive-date=17 January 2017|url-status=live}} Quest News.
