Overview

Jamieson Park is a waterfront recreation space located on the Redcliffe Peninsula, providing direct access to the Scarborough Boat Harbour. The park features a designated off-leash dog exercise area, allowing pets to roam freely within fenced boundaries. Recreational amenities include sheltered picnic tables, electric barbecues, and a children's playground. A paved pathway connects the park to the broader Moreton Bay cycleway network, facilitating coastal walking and cycling. The site is characterized by its views of the Glass House Mountains across the bay and proximity to the Scarborough marina. Its coastal positioning exposes the area to prevailing Moreton Bay breezes, making it a popular location for local outdoor gatherings.

Insider tips

Bring a windbreaker or light jacket as the exposed waterfront can get significantly breezier than inland areas.

Utilize the nearby Scarborough Harbour commercial precinct for amenities if the park facilities are at peak capacity.

Check local tide charts if planning to walk along the adjacent beach area to ensure maximum access to the shoreline.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to swim in the boat harbour entrance as it is subject to heavy marine traffic and strong tidal currents.

Etiquette

Dog owners must clean up after their pets and ensure they remain under effective control; public alcohol consumption is restricted.
