Townsville Recreational Boating Park

The Townsville Recreational Boating Park (TRBP) sits on the Ross River in South Townsville, accessed via Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Avenues, with a primary address at 30–34 Seventh Avenue.

Described as the largest facility of its kind in Australia, the $25-million park features four boat ramps with multiple lanes, two pontoons — including a 50-metre all-ability accessible pontoon — over 330 car-and-trailer bays, washdown areas, security cameras, and lighting.

Amenities extend beyond boating infrastructure to include BBQ areas, covered playground equipment, sheltered picnic spaces, toilets, and a water tap.

The facility is managed by Townsville City Council and serves both the recreational fishing and boating community as well as the broader public. Visitors should note that crocodiles are known to frequent the river and surrounding banks.
