Gentle exercise

Lace up and head out on a scenic stroll in South Bank. Take the waterfront Clem Jones Promenade from the Epicurious Garden to the Cultural Precinct for a riverside walk, wander through the floral-festooned Arbour, and enjoy the South Bank to CBD bridge loop, spanning two bridges and parklands. For a longer walk, the 2.5km South Bank to Kangaroo Point route is seriously scenic and includes the famous cliff stairs for a challenge.

Healthy eats

Feel good inside and out with fresh food inspo. Fuel up or sate your post-workout hunger with the healthy eats on offer at South Bank. We love the açai bowls, loaded granola and fruity smoothies at OAKBERRY Açai in the Stanley Street Plaza and the delicious, raw and plant-based options at Coco Bliss on Grey Street. For a heartier appetite, drop by South Bank’s top brunch spots – you’ve earned it!

Riverside recovery

Cool down after a hot workout in one of South Bank’s three aquatic spaces. Enjoy a recovery swim and ground yourself on the sand at the Streets Beach lagoon or take an even slower pace at the Boat Pool, an expansive, crescent-shaped pool situated in the sparkling sunshine. Got the kids in tow? Splash about at the shallow Aquativity waterplay park for immersive fun under the sun.
