Great day out for the whole family. Play park or the choice of 2x pools while parents can picnic on the lawns. There are numerous lifesavers on duty. There is also a beer garden for the thirsty parents. There are BBQ facilities and lockers to keep your personals safe. Plenty paid parking underground. This park has numerous stores ranging from souvenirs to chocolate and a Nandos. You can catch the Southbank ferry as an alternative. Plenty sunblock and wear a hat. I suggest taking your beach trolley with all your goodies. There is a small beach. No need to take beach chairs. On the weekend is a street market and a must visit. There are numerous street facing restaurants and cocktail bars. It's a good day out.
Playground
Awesome play area for kids
Restrooms
Plenty toilets and change rooms. Even showers.
Picnic area
There is a grass picnic area between the pools

Love coming to Southbank. You can just sit back and read a book or people watch on land or paddling in the water. You have the options of taking your own food/ drinks or the option is available to purchase them at several venues nearby. The parkland swimming area caters for everyone with the multiple swimming areas. Sand for the beach loving people or solid bottom for the sand haters, don't forget the little people they also have a shallow play area with water features to play in. People with disabilities also have access via a ramp to join in the fun. Seating is available throughout the park. I have focused on the pool area but you have so much more to the parkland than just this area. I will do an update later on this.

A lovely spot to go for a walk or sit and relax. There is plenty of space, the view back to the city is nice (particularly at night when everything is lit up) and it is all wheelchair accessible. There are multiple public bathrooms around the area and plenty of good cafes, bars and restaurants. A must visit spot if you are in the area.
Playground
The playground is a little further south and located just before the pool, but it is a very short walk away

Picnic area
Wheelchair accessible grass that can be used as a picnic area and a lovely view back towards the city

South Bank Parklands are a fantastic place to go all year round. There are some great restaurants and bars to relax, have food and get a drink. Plenty of places to go for a walk, with or without your dog. It’s also a place for some good local events include food and drink, fire works for major celebrations.

With such wide open spaces, it’s perfect for walking your dog, and many places allow your dog to sit outside with you - just ask before sitting down.

Plenty of places to have a picnic, just bring a blanket.

One of the iconic spots in south Brisbane. Actually this is my first time in Australia. I'm also pretty new to this place. I was amazed when i see this for a first time. Most probably everyone does that. Fun fact it was not planned I went here for running event conducted by Griffith University. That's how it happens. Very relaxing spot. Do visit this place in morning time that's the secret of this beautiful spot You can bring your family and friends as well to have fun and enjoy your mean time. Cheers

Fridays to Sundays is market, with unigue art and craft products. A stall with geninue Australian suvenirs is great, All products are from crocodile or kenguru leather.

I loved my time at Southbank and my walks through the parklands and beach area. I visited the museum and there were alot of free levels to explore. We had a meal at The Jetty by the water and enjoyed the cocktail. The free ferry ( kitty cat ) can be access here at Southbank as well as the Big Cat ferry. We had a long ferry ride for $15 each.
Playground
Great park area, grass to run around and a beach like pool area with life guards. Don't miss this place when visiting Brisbane City.

The pools can be busy around midday and shade is lacking although the playgrounds provide great entertainment for younger people although some attractions like the "mouse wheel" are dangerous especially for young kids. The pools are average Chlorine pools with a lack of lanes for swimming practice. The shops have food although mostly snacks.. the restrooms are average but you May, if swimming have to get changed in front of others.Would recommend for a day out if you live nearby.

Close to the CBD this parklank & hospo/retail area offer a day out to anyone. The gardens are lovely. Mix of food and retail outlets. Disability friendly pathways. Close to the river. Fireworks displays every new years eve & riverfire in sept annually. Parking isn’t super cheap (secure parking). Look out for birds ( esp the ibis commonly known as the bin chicken), spiders and lizards. There is a fake beach & pool. Barbecues are located around the park. The gardens are kept well.

A beautiful area next to the river with plenty of attractions including Streets Beach, shops, restaurants or even The Wheel of Brisbane which is not far. The walking routes are all well presented and generally kept quite clean. There's plenty of parking nearby too which is mostly underground in the direct vicinity. Several small parks, BBQ picnic areas, toilet facilities and river views, all nearby within walking distance. A definite place to visit when exploring Brisbane!

Lovely Riverside area in downtown Brisbane. Lots of cafes, restaurants, playgrounds, places to sit, and paths to walk cycle or run on. The bougainvillea walk is nice and there are toilets and water stations around too. Great for families and exercise enthusiasts too. There are great views of the river as well.
Playground
Excellent clean and safe.
Restrooms
Clean enough
Dog-friendliness
Very friendly but no poop bags around.

We always have such a wonderful, happy day under the sun in the beach or pool at Southbank. Plenty of spots to put a blanket down to laze beside the water & have a nice lunch. Plenty of eateries, toilets & a cpl of public BBQ areas. Beautiful walkways through Southbank or beside the Brisbane River. Nice markets on occasion. I recommend going early to get a decent park before it's full from online bookings

Southbank parkland is incredibly beautiful, with stunning views of the Brisbane River and a lovely sandy beach. My husky always has a blast walking around and exploring and sniffing out this beautiful parkland. There are plenty of walking trails to explore and lots of space to roam around. The park is very clean and well-maintained, and I felt very safe walking around with my dog.

First time to this great place. Plenty of food/ dining options. Lovely place just to relax, walk or eat. Some fantastic places to walk through such as the jungle, community garden or just wonder through the parks or along the river. Relax on the beach or go for a swim. CH 7 Ferris wheel gives a great oversight of the area. They even have a bike repair staton!

Great parks. Gorgeous grounds. Stunning to be connected to Brisbane River with stunning surrounds of gardens & the man made beach. Wonderful all age equipment at the parks.

South Bank in Brisbane is undeniably a must-visit destination. While I've never taken a dip in the pool, the ambiance of the area is fantastic. The park is perfect for a leisurely walk, and the overall experience is just cool. If you're in Brisbane, South Bank is definitely worth checking out.

Amazing and very stunning promenade, with spectacular view on the West End, with well organised park line and rainforest routes. With a huge outdoor pool and a separate pool for children, with incredible lighting in the evening. I got a great pleasure walking under the lights of a big city!

Always enjoy a day out at South bank so much to do the beautiful river of Brisbane it's well kept clean and lots of wonderful food to choose from local music talent great beer and an awesome energy . Enjoy the pool or the beach pool picnics BBQs or local restaurants and cafes

I feel whatever neighbourhood you go in Brisbane it’s very appealing and scenic with lots to do. The closer you get to the centre the nicer it is. South Bank is so vast and scenic on its entire path. And the views of the other side are superb! Nice city! …

A wonderful place to spend a sunny afternoon. Nice strip of restaurants with almost all cuisines represented. A huge park with day pools for kids to play. The big ferrous wheel for nice city views. A really decent place to walk. Hop on ferries available.

It’s nice to walking around south bank area, so many art installations, near to almost everything you need, restaurants cafe, bookstores, parks, museums, campus events, don’t forget to try ride on water taxi across the river.

Fantastic atmosphere, wonderful restaurants, cafes, ice-cream and lolly shops and market stalls on the weekends. Great place to visit with something for everyone, especially in summer when the swimming lagoons are open.

Along the Brisbane River in Southbank. Nice stroll along the river and walk paths. Recent women’s FIFA activities vendors still around. Has a children playground. Also the Wheel of Brisbane if you want to ride it.

An amazing place to be. Great walk along the river. Very pretty especially at night with all the lights. Perfect place for a picnic as well! Totally love the recent transformation over the past year or so.

A very Friendly Family Place to visit with swimming and children's playground parkland and gardens and Restaurants close by Also there are toilet facilities picnic areas and Dog friendliness here …

A wonderful spot so close to the city, often busy with people, but rather than busy city-mode the mood is more to enjoy the green surrounds and the nearby selection of restaurants, bars, and cafés

Big parkland opposite Brisbane CBD and next to the river, featuring unique man made beach & tropical forest, perfect for all ages to enjoy outdoor Queensland weather!

An excellent waterside Park with tonnes of family friendly and communal spaces. A rare opportunity to go out and spend time together without the need to spend money.

Fun lively place to hang around during anytime of the day!!! Best part not to be missed is the Street Beach ....superb relaxing spot for full family.

Beautiful free public pool with safeguarding, beautiful place for a lazy walk or biking. Always been my favorite place.

City views, shade, wide pathway - perfect for a run or jog. Should be staple part of any Brisbane River running loop!

Nice attraction. As with CBD places, there is nowhere close to park your car but you can take transportation

My favourite place for a morning or evening walk. Beautiful river views and gardens along the way.

Beautifully designed and developed riverbank.. with nice walking tracks, play areas and CBD views

What an amazing spot to enjoy with your family and have a good sight of the city .

Beautiful place, clean and family friendly!
