Things to do
Parks and play in Hamilton
Life at Northshore Hamilton is designed to be lived outdoors.
Set along Brisbane’s riverfront, the precinct brings together a network of parks, playgrounds and open spaces that make it easy to slow down, explore and spend time together. Whether it’s a morning walk by the water, a weekend picnic, or somewhere for kids to run and play, there’s always somewhere to go.
With kilometres of river edge, leafy green spaces and places to pause along the way, Northshore Hamilton invites you to step outside and make the most of every day.
Maritime Green
Set against a riverfront backdrop, this expansive lawn and performance space is designed for both everyday use and large‑scale experiences. On any given day, it’s a place to meet friends, roll out a picnic rug or simply enjoy the open space. When events are on, it transforms, hosting markets, live music, cultural festivals and outdoor screenings that bring the precinct to life.
Public art is woven throughout the space, with murals and installations adding colour, storytelling and a strong sense of place. These artworks reflect the precinct’s connection to the river, its history, and its evolving creative identity.
Nearby, shaded areas and flexible structures like the Hangar provide places to gather, relax or take part in community activities, making Maritime Green as welcoming on a quiet afternoon as it is during major events.
Hercules Street Park
At the western end of the precinct, Hercules Street Park is a high‑energy destination for play, movement and everyday activity.
This contemporary playground is designed for all ages, with climbing structures, slides and water play features that come to life in warmer months. Open green space offers room for informal games, while basketball courts and BBQ facilities make it easy to stay longer.
It’s also a popular spot for dog owners, with off‑leash areas giving four‑legged visitors space to stretch their legs.
Northshore Riverside Park
Tucked along the river, Northshore Riverside Park is a relaxed, family‑friendly destination where nature and play come together.
A shaded, pirate‑themed playground adds a sense of adventure for younger visitors, while open lawns and sculpted landscapes create space to roam, kick a ball or roll out a picnic rug. Just beyond, a small sandy beach offers a unique riverside experience, perfect for unwinding, building sandcastles or simply taking in the view.
Walking and cycling paths connect through the park, making it easy to explore at your own pace, with Riva Kitchen nearby for a coffee or casual bite to eat.
Open space, your way
Beyond the playgrounds, Northshore Hamilton is shaped by a connected network of green spaces and riverfront paths.
Walk, cycle or scoot through the precinct, moving between parks, public spaces and places to gather. Find a quiet corner to sit, meet friends for an afternoon outdoors, or follow the river as it winds through the precinct.
This is everyday life at Northshore Hamilton – open, connected and made to be enjoyed.
