South Bank Parklands is Queensland’s premier lifestyle and cultural destination, open 365 days a year.

Perfect for families with its range of entertainment and leisure facilities. From beach overlooking Brisbane River and the CBD, to garden, concert space, playground. Pack the scooter or bike as there are plenty of pathways.

Tie this in with a visit to QPAC, the art galleries or make it a stop on your CityCat exploration of the river. For older kids you may like to stroll further along to Kangaroo Point from here and get the bodies moving by abseiling the cliffs, or going for a kayak on the river.
