Mott Park was a ceremonial spot for the Aborigines who travelled between Slacks Creek and Holland Park. It was part of the original estate of Julius Holland and was gazetted as a water reserve in 1887. By 1905, it was known as Holland Reserve and complaints about the condition of the park were common. It was given in trust as a recreation reserve to the Coorparoo Shire Council in 1909. Mott Park is 5.7 hectares and was named in 1962 for former City Council Chief Engineer, Charles Banks Mott.

The track that developed between Brisbane and the German settlement, on the banks of the Logan River, wound along the flatter ground between Mount Gravatt, Pine Mountain, and Whites Hill. It may have been following the path that Aborigines had made over thousands of years. A few graziers ran sheep through the area, and William Slack used the road then known as Slacks Track to move cattle to market. As more people settled in the area the bush track became better used and bullock and horse teams drove along it. After being surveyed in 1864 the track was renamed Logan Road. Cobb and Co provided a weekly coach to Loganholme until 1885 when the rail line to Beenleigh was opened. Hans Von Lippa walked out along the road in 1889 and said that 'the way was lovely but very lonely – I rarely encountered anyone'. Finally Logan Road was fully bituminised in 1931, prompting the raising of the speed limit from a sedate fifteen miles (24.2 kilometres) an hour.
