We had such a lovely time at Elizabeth Quay today. The kids first had fun at the Island Playground, exploring, climbing, and playing to their hearts’ content.

A little hard to park to come here but it was OK. The app it wanted me to pay wit didn't load properly. But i rang the council and they advised there were also machines on the footpath to use so we got it sorted. It was a lovely area to chill. Had it been a more appropriate time of day we could have got icecream. There were a lot of people using the space.

A breadth of fresh air. Riverside jetty makes it so refreshing and calming. Seating on the docks, watching birds chirping, is so lively. Those mini rides for kids make it a good family outing. There are so many options of eating out. Communication is absolutely spot on with the bus stand just right beside it.

This place is a haven for personal relaxation, offering a sense of calm and tranquility that truly helps me unwind. With its stunning and serene scenery, it's a perfect backdrop for quiet reflection. For those who enjoy being active outdoors, it's well-suited for running, biking, or just a gentle walk. Do note that most shops and restaurants in the area close their doors around 6 PM.
