Albert Park

Albert Park sits on Monaco Street at Broadbeach Waters, on the central Gold Coast. A much-loved local park, it's a lovely green space — combining open lawns, picnic and barbecue areas, a playground and walking paths with a pleasant waterside setting on the canals, the kind of relaxed, family-friendly park that's a genuine local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of open green space and great family amenity: room to walk, picnic and relax, a playground for the kids, barbecue facilities and a lovely waterside setting, all in a convenient Broadbeach Waters location. It's a beloved spot for families, a picnic, a barbecue or some time outdoors near the water.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 350 reviews, it's clearly a firm local favourite. The park is free and open, but facilities and any events vary, so it's worth taking sun protection on a warm day and checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a picnic, a play or some time outdoors by the water, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Albert Park at Broadbeach Waters.
