Picnic spots

No matter what your mood, you’ll find a picnic spot to suit it at South Bank. River Quay Green, Riverside Green and Picnic Island Green are the most popular. As their names suggest, River Quay Green and Riverside Green also have stunning views of the Brisbane River and city skyline, while Riverside Green and Picnic Island Playground have free, state-of-the-art playgrounds for the kids to play on. Consumption of alcohol is permitted from 10am - 8pm at River Quay Green and Picnic Island Green, to consume alcohol in these spaces you must be 18+ years old and have food to accompany your drinks. Please note on New Year's Eve and Australia Day, South Bank Parklands is alcohol-free for public safety reasons. If seclusion is your aim, take a trip to Rainforest Green or the Liana Lounge. Both are shrouded in tall, leafy trees and the Liana Lounge has the added benefit of a gorgeous art piece (inspired by Australia’s native liana vines) that doubles as seating. Finally, there’s the Little Stanley Street Lawns. Located opposite South Bank’s bustling Little Stanley Street, the Lawns are an inviting green space dotted with leafy fig trees. They’re ideal for kicking back on with a book or picnic, and they also provide a scenic backdrop for many of South Bank’s signature events including the Young Designers Market.
