Waterline Park

Waterline Park is a river-edge recreation space in South Bank, Brisbane, positioned between 1 William Street and Mangrove Walk. Opened in 2019, it combines landscaped gardens with facilities for active recreation and quieter breaks.

The park includes a climbing wall, table tennis facilities, exercise equipment and soft-fall surfaces. Green tropical gardens, terraced seating and colourful surroundings give the space a mix of movement and downtime, making it suited to workers taking a break during the week as well as family-oriented recreation on weekends.

There are several details to look out for beyond the play and exercise facilities. A flood-level gauge records flood history reaching back to the 1800s, while artwork extends across the motorway columns nearby. Cyclists can also use a dedicated lane through the park, linking the city with the Bicentennial Bikeway via Alice Street.

With its combination of open-air facilities, seating and river-edge setting, Waterline Park works for a quick solo exercise session, a casual game of table tennis or an outdoor stop with the family. It is part of the broader Queen’s Wharf Brisbane precinct, but its appeal lies in being a practical public space for recreation and a breather among the city’s built-up surroundings.
