This is a great area for small children and young teens, or adults wanting a picturesque walk. The playground equipment is varied and different enough to attract the young away from the usual offerings at community playgrounds. The walking path and picnic areas are well maintained and together with the great water views, make this spot a worthwhile place for both locals and anyone visiting the Gold Coast. However, there is one major drawback in that there is no cafe where one can sit down and have a snack or even to buy a cup of coffee, while enjoying the wonderful water views. This is a missed opportunity for a small but very much needed commercial development. The Gold Coast council would do well to promote or even provide such a development, especially as it markets itself as a tourist destination. In summary it's a wonderful little playground oasis including a swimming section, situated at Marine Parade Southport, but do remember that you need to bring your own food and drink.
