Overview

GC Aqua Park is a massive inflatable water park located in the Southport Broadwater, featuring a sprawling obstacle course of slides, tunnels, and balance beams. The attraction utilizes a modular design that floats directly on the saltwater of the Gold Coast Broadwater, managed by professional lifeguards. Participants navigate interconnected inflatable structures that require physical climbing, jumping, and sliding across the water's surface. It is designed to accommodate various skill levels through sections ranging from easy to challenging. The facility is anchored securely to the sea floor but remains buoyant for dynamic movement. Guests must traverse a designated walkway to reach the starting platform from the beach. Safety gear, specifically life jackets, is provided and required for all individuals entering the course.
