We walked to the area from the W Hotel and wandered through the area, the beach, rain forest, rode the wheel and saw the Brisbane sign. There are bats in the trees by the sign so be careful. My wife got bat pooped on while walking under the trees. We walked around the area both in the daytime and at night.

Stunning foreshore area in the heart of Brisbane. This area is over 30 years old but it is truly a beautiful place filled with so many places to visit from vegetarian gardens, a beach and pools, bars and cafes, stunning gardens, markets, cultural and exhibition centres and walkways. Takes about 20 minutes to walk the length but you'll be stopping so frequently so you could easily spend hours here. It's clean, peaceful and amazing to visit right in the heart of the city.

The whole of the South Bank is interesting, not just the Parklands and the cultural precinct. If you're in high-rise accommodation as were there's great views across the river to the CBD. Also some interesting buildings and good cafes around Fish Lane. And of course the area is very central; easy to get to Paddington and the West End as well as downtown.

I have been spending time at Southbank for more years than I care to recall and love the place. It has been a thing for me to drop off my wife at an event somewhere in the City and then go for a wander through Southbank (almost always with our dogs) for many, many years. I love the relaxed nature of the place and feel that it mirrors the lifestyle in Qld quite well. Chilled, unpretentious and suitable for whatever folks want to do whether it be riding a bike, reading a book, jogging, playing with kids, strolling, having a swim or a BBQ. Did I mention that puppies on leads are welcome ? Plenty of food outlets, transport options and hidden delights like the sensory garden and the little boardwalks..... Not to mention the easy access across and along both sides of the river for many kms. A wonderful way to spend as little or as long as you like.

Nice place to spend an Arvo. Lots of interesting things to see like the Nepalese pagoda. There was free live music playing on a Sunday Arvo and lots of restaurant options nearby

On a warm day I'm sure the pool and lagoon are both tons of fun and slammed with people.  It was a cooler day in winter so too cold for water and the playground is alright.  Still nice views of the water and worth checking out. Plenty of food options nearby

Well laid out and completely accessible. Beach was inviting, rainforest walk and Nepalese peace pagoda worth a visit. Couple this with a river cruise, Brisbane Wheel, great views across the river, theatre, cinema or eating out you have a complete snapshot of Brisbane.

I used to live in Brisbane for two years when this part of town on the south bank of the Brisbane river was nothing more than a small paddling pool that no-one much used. Now it's a bustling place with a couple of large swimming areas complete with lifeguards and sand. There' s a huge Ferris Wheel, a cultural centre, a Japanese pagoda, a rain-forest walk-through and, presumably in honour of the 2024 Paris Olympics, a miniature Eiffel Tower. A great place to amble through with lots of photo ops.

Great place to relax with family with great facilities. Very good restaurants and swimming facilities. Spend a couple of days in the sun along the south bank and with easy ferry access.

For me this is the best part of Brisbane. It has everything you need: galleries and museum, great views across the river, plenty of eateries, a great walk and running path all along the water and plenty of bridges that make it an easy walk back to the CBD. It has a nice and relaxed feel and it definitely a popular area at all times of day and for people of all ages. Definitely check it out.
