A great public area along the riverbank. Heaps of restaurants/bars to choose from, lovely grassed areas and if you have young kids the water activity and swimming areas are fantastic. The Wheel of Brisbane is at one end providing great views of the city

What a great space in the heart of Brisbane. Plenty of open space for families to gather with children. Loads of eating options from cafe style, to pub style to takeaway. Huge pool area for cooling down with toilets and change areas and right by the river with a boardwalk for walking. Such an asset to the city.

These pop up markets have something for everyone, no matter what your taste or budget. They have scents of every kind, fudge, food trucks, jewellery and so many other things. Most are made by the stall holders and are ethically made. It is easy to find items for vegan philosophy. A nice way to enjoy a few hours on the weekend. Friday night markets!! 😁

Great walk down the south bank and parklands. Plenty of shade and seating areas , lots of cafes and restaurants. We took a river cruise which let us see the sights . Free museum along the way and we walked around to the botanical gardens too . Ensure you wear good walking shoes

Great place to spend a few hours or a day. The beach and pool are both amazing and was amazing at sunset. There are plenty of places to find something to eat and drink and we found the souvenir shop to be fairly priced. We found all ages enjoying this area, bonus is near transit exchange and ferry dock. Definitely worth visiting this area.

One of the best things in Brisbane. The view of the river and its nearby buildings are so clear. Right next to the Griffith University city campus, the ride takes you 4 spins with a short stop whilst you are at the top. The cabins are all air conditioned so very cool ride. It was slightly windy given the autumn winds but the sway was acceptable. You can hit an emergency button in every cabin if you feel uncomfortable so very assuring. You can bring drinks into the cabin however the nearest toilets are quite a walk away. Ride takes about 12 minutes so really quick. Booking online can come with good discounts. Walk in is about AUD21 per person.

We were waiting for our son and family to arrive before going for lunch at one of the many really nice restaurants in the area, and decided to go for a walk. What an inviting place to visit with so much to do. The waters edge walk is beautiful. The kids were having so much fun in the playground and splash pool area. The beach is also great and is patrolled. We lived the gardens and the big shade trees as well as the snaking walk way covered in flowering Boganville. We were there when the markets were in which added to the carnival atmosphere.

The South Bank parklands are an extraordinary feat of cultural development for Brisbane, running from the excellent Queensland Museum along the river course. It includes the Brisbane wheel and scores of resteraunts and drinking establishments. Night or day, it's an experience. Parents of young ones don't be afraid to pack a bag with a swimsuit and towel. There's a kid friendly night/day beach and pool. Lovely greenery, lots of views, world-class dining. Check out attractions along the way, like the museum. A whole day on this side of the river sampling breakfast, lunch and dinner aren't wasted. On the Queen Street side? It's literally a ten minute walk across the bridge. Don't be afraid of the distance, and the bridge views are worth it.

great place to walk and enjoy what's on offer here, there is a great series of pools one has sand, other is a regular pool and there is a stream for kids to play in.Aattendants on duty too. Changing rooms and plenty of atmosphere around the pool, it was very busy but people were coming and going. The walkway is from the evnts-centre and finishes around the maritime museum with lots of lovely plantings and sitting areas. Behind the park was lots of cafes and shops (shops mainly closed on the Sunday we went) also a small market tucked in there. We picked up the small KItty Cat ferry and had a free ride down river and back, you can get on and off as you like this is a regular commuter ferry, there is a paid one too which is bigger and faster. Currently the ferry stop at the city side is out of action so we got on at South Bank This is a must area to visit when in Brisbane

AMAZING place for everyone - families, teens, oldies like me etc. The general behaviour of everyone was outstanding - nothing anti social at all. Great eateries around the 'beach'. Lovely safe swimming.
