Brisbane Riverwalk

Brisbane Riverwalk is an 850-metre floating walkway on the Brisbane River linking New Farm to Howard Smith Wharves beneath the Story Bridge in Brisbane, Queensland. Originally opened in 2003, destroyed in the January 2011 floods and rebuilt and reopened in September 2014, it is notable as a dedicated pedestrian and cyclist structure fixed to piles with a floating pontoon design and for its views of the river, city skyline and Story Bridge.

Visitors can expect a flat, wide floating walkway over the Brisbane River with uninterrupted views of the river, Story Bridge, Howard Smith Wharves and the Brisbane CBD skyline. The structure is a shared pedestrian and cycle path with seating, lighting and viewing platforms, connecting the New Farm riverfront to the CBD precinct. The surroundings include parkland, ferry wharves, restaurants at Howard Smith Wharves and residential riverfront at New Farm and Teneriffe.

The original Brisbane Riverwalk was constructed in 2003 as a floating walkway linking New Farm to the CBD. It was largely destroyed during the January 2011 Brisbane River floods. A redesigned, more flood-resilient 850-metre fixed-pile floating structure was constructed and officially reopened on 21 September 2014, restoring the riverfront link.

The Riverwalk is a key recreational and active-transport link reflecting Brisbane's identity as a river city. It provides a popular public space for walking, cycling and sightseeing and connects cultural and leisure precincts including Howard Smith Wharves, New Farm Park and the Brisbane Powerhouse.
