There is a public toilet and small playground for the kids. Winding away from the sizeable carpark are several paved walking tracks. Stay nice and quiet on your hike and you'll find out why this reserve is so special. Kangaroos, koalas, kookaburras, brightly coloured parrots and lots of other bird life are ever present. I've never visited Boronia Bushland Reserve without coming across the huge mob of kangaroos that live in the area. Sometimes they come right out into the playground area to munch on the grass.

There is the large concrete bottom pool that draws quite the crowd in hot weather, as does the neighboring beach (sand bottom) pool There is also a small kids pool and kids water playground. It's FREE! There are public restrooms steps away that give you a free space to change, plus lockers available for rent. It is easy to spend an entire day here, enjoying the public amenities and pool while having quick access to restrooms, lunch spots, and ice cream trucks. Overall I give Streets Beach Five Stars out of Five. It's a MUST VISIT.

In recent months I've been building a list of "tacky, weird stuff to do" in Brisbane list. Streets Beach is right at the top of this list. A man made beach, complete with sand, life guards and umbrellas- right in the middle of the city! I used to think this beach was horribly tacky and I used to avoid it like the plague. It was always full of little kids who you could trust to pee in the water, or young buff couples getting sexy in the deeper waters. Am I selling this yet? In recent years however, I don't avoid it so much. I've grown fond of strolling down to the beach of a night time for a dip. You can float on your back and gaze out at the skyline, and watch the lights reflect off the water of the river below. It's actually really pretty. Just maybe take care to not put your head under water. You never know what's beneath the surface. Take this as you will. It's open until 10pm of a night time.
