“Spend a day on the three-kilometre strip that is Broadwater Parklands in Southport on the Gold Coast. Enjoy a nice walk, run or bike ride – this fabulous park has something for everyone. The water park has lifeguards 7 days a week, summer and winter. Hop on the monorail, kids’ mini bike circuit, flying fox and jumping pillow. Have a coffee at the café or BBQ.
