parkrun - Redland Bay

A very scenic course which starts and finishes in the south-eastern corner of the Sel Outridge Park on the edge of Redland Bay, between the ferry terminal and the Redland Bay Hotel. Starts with two anti-clockwise laps around the grassy perimeter of the oval and then joins the concrete path heading north for stunning views of Moreton Bay and its southern islands. The course continues along the waterfront to the turn-around point at the Redland Bay golf course, and returns south along the same concrete path to finish at the oval. The course is mostly flat, with only two tiny inclines, one at Bay Street and the other approaching the turn-around point; you’ll barely notice them because you’ll be too busy taking in the scenery. Facilities The course starts and finishes in the Sel Outridge Park. Along with the oval there is a children’s playground, exercise equipment, half basketball court, cricket net, barbeque facilities and shelters. Taps are available in the park, as well as along the course at the end of Bay Street. Public toilets are available along the side of the oval adjoining Peel Street. Getting There Location of startThe run starts in the bottom (south-eastern) sector of the oval, nearest to the ferry terminal. Getting there by public transportBus routes 250, 280, 281 and 282 service the area to provide connections with the bay island ferries.

Getting there on footFrom the Redland Bay shopping precinct, head south along Broadwater Terrace until you pass the Redland Bay Hotel. Take Peel Street left, towards the bay, and head across the oval to the start line, just south of the playground.
