The open, public spaces are accessible 24 hours a day, every day of the year. It is the place where the residents of our city come together to celebrate family functions as well as national events such as Australia Day. Visitors to Brisbane are attracted to South Bank for its relaxed atmosphere and opportunity to swim, walk, ride, eat or see a show.

There are several barbecues across The Parklands. All of the barbecues are free to use but they cannot be booked in advance for functions.

Embrace the luscious lawns throughout The Parklands at South Bank, where you are welcome to throw a Frisbee or ball. While cycling and skateboarding is permitted in the precinct, it is important to utilise the designated areas.

• Chinatown 1Km

Enjoy strolling in the car-free, open-air zone that is the Chinatown Mall.

Brisbane's Chinatown Mall in Duncan Street, Fortitude Valley, has been a hub of Asian commercial and cultural activity since its official opening on 29 January 1987. Streets are signed in both Chinese characters and English.

Ancient traditions

Both the Mall's Wickham and Ann Street entrances are guarded by pairs of stone lions, presented as a gift from the People's Republic of China. The 320kg stone carvings stand as a symbol of friendship and cultural respect. They also function as sentinels - protectors whose mere presence is said to guard against evil spirits.
