Its location on the Broadwater provides a direct line of sight to Wave Break Island across the channel.
The park incorporates historical signage detailing the maritime significance of the Labrador coastline.
Harley Park is a prominent waterfront recreational space located on the Broadwater in Labrador, Queensland. It features a sandy beach area specifically designated for swimming with calm, protected waters suitable for families. The park is equipped with extensive playground facilities, including climbing structures and slides. Picnic infrastructure is integrated throughout the grounds, offering numerous sheltered tables and electric barbecue stations. The site is a key access point for the adjacent marine facilities along Marine Parade. Views from the park overlook the northern end of the Gold Coast and the calm channels of the Broadwater.

Bring water shoes to protect feet from occasional crushed shell fragments on the shoreline.
Arrive early on weekends to secure a covered picnic table near the playground.
Take advantage of the public pathway that connects the park to the wider Gold Coast Esplanade network for coastal walking.
Do not attempt to swim outside of the marked, shallow beach areas due to strong tidal currents in the deeper Broadwater channels.
Maintain noise levels during peak picnic hours; ensure dogs are kept on-leash until reaching the designated off-leash zone.
