Overview

Moora Park is a waterfront recreation space located on the Shorncliffe peninsula in Brisbane, Queensland. It features significant frontage along Bramble Bay and serves as a northern trailhead for the Moreton Bay Cycleway. The park layout incorporates expansive grassy areas, mature Norfolk Island pine trees, and dedicated picnic shelters. It sits adjacent to the historic Shorncliffe Pier, which extends 350 metres into the bay. The site is a primary location for observing coastal migratory birds and local marine activity. Infrastructure includes public playgrounds, toilet facilities, and electric barbecues for community use. The park acts as a primary link between the Shorncliffe residential area and the coastal cliff-top walking paths.

What to avoid

Attempting to park near the pier on sunny weekend afternoons, as parking becomes extremely congested; use the overflow areas further inland.
