History

Langlands Park is named for Langlands, which was the name of the residence that previously existed on the property (owned by merchant Reuben Nicklin).{{Cite book|title=A family view of the Nicklins of Coorparoo.

This became the home of the Eastern Suburbs Cricket club, and was large enough to house two cricket fields. This was reduced to one cricket field when the cricket club moved to a new ground, and it is now home to the Brisbane Tigers (previously known as the Easts Leagues club and the Easts Tigers). In 1999 the Easts Leagues club was built, as was a grandstand along the western side of the field. The ground capacity is now 3,500.{{Citation needed|date=January 2025}}
