4 places to cool off this summer
Beat the summer heat without having to trek out of town! There's something for everyone - just a hop, skip and splash away.
Pools
Whether it's diving at Centenary Pool in Spring Hill or racing down waterslides at Chermside Pool, there are lots of ways to make a splash at Council's 22 pools.
Aqua parks and water play areas
From Streets Beach and Aquativity at South Bank Parklands to Council's 15 pools with water-play areas, you'll get hours of fun from drop buckets, water jets and more.
Riverside parks
It's always cooler by the water. Feel the breeze with a picnic at New Farm Park, Mowbray Park, or one of Brisbane's many shady riverside greenspaces. Search for parks by suburb.
Seaside
From Sandgate to Wynnum, Brisbane's bayside stretch offers seaside esplanades, parks, water activities and mouth-water fish 'n' chips.
