The park is situated on a man-made land formation bordering the Nerang River estuary.
It is a primary access point for the Gold Coast Oceanway, a continuous 36-kilometre coastal pathway.
The park's proximity to The Spit makes it a common starting point for land-based shore fishing in the Broadwater.
The surrounding landscape is part of the Southport Broadwater Parklands development strategy aimed at preserving coastal leisure zones.
Hollindale Park is a waterfront public reserve located on the northern end of Main Beach along the Broadwater. The park features an extensive shaded playground area and direct access to the calmer, protected waters of the Gold Coast Broadwater. Grassy open spaces are equipped with picnic tables, electric barbecues, and public amenities. The location is adjacent to the entrance of The Spit, a popular recreational sand spit that separates the Pacific Ocean from the Southport Broadwater. Native trees provide canopy cover for visitors during high-temperature periods. The park serves as a popular transition point between the urban Gold Coast and the natural coastal environment of the northern peninsula.

Bring a portable sun shelter as the shaded picnic spots are popular and fill up quickly.
Use the adjacent paved walking path to reach the northern tip of The Spit for unobstructed views of the seaway entrance.
Check local tide charts before visiting if you plan to swim in the shallow, protected waters near the park.
Do not attempt to swim in the main Seaway channel, which features strong, dangerous tidal currents.
Leashed dogs are permitted in designated areas; remove all litter to maintain the coastal habitat.
