Gardens Point Boat Harbour sits on the Brisbane River adjacent to the City Botanic Gardens in the CBD, directly across from the Kangaroo Point cliffs.

It has served as one of Brisbane City Council's two public mooring facilities on the river, offering pile moorings of various sizes along with onshore amenities including lockers, showers, and laundry.

Its central location made it the most convenient place to berth a boat in Brisbane, though passing river ferries were known to create significant wash and swell at the moorings.

The harbour operated on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations, and moorings were rented on a short-term rolling basis.

More than 30 moorings at the site were slated for removal by Brisbane City Council to accommodate construction of the Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, effectively ending a long tradition of houseboats and visiting vessels mooring at this inner-city location.
