Southport Broadwater Parklands

Southport Broadwater Parklands is a 17-hectare waterfront public park on the Broadwater foreshore at Southport on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Opened in stages from 2008, it stretches along Marine Parade between Australia Fair and the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre. Notable for its calm Broadwater views, landscaped lawns, Anzac Park, Rockpool swimming area, playgrounds and event spaces, it serves as a central recreational and community hub for residents and visitors.

Visitors can expect a flat, landscaped waterfront park along the calm Broadwater with open lawns, paved promenades, and views to The Spit and Surfers Paradise. The park includes the Broadwater Parklands Rockpool, large adventure playgrounds, picnic shelters and barbecues, a pier, Anzac Park memorial area, and event lawns. The setting is open and family-oriented with walking and cycling paths, shaded seating, and direct foreshore access for swimming, picnicking and sightseeing.
