    Southbank Promenade is a wide, flat and easy-to-navigate pedestrian pathway that runs along the southern bank of the Yarra River, connecting Princes Bridge through to Queens Bridge and beyond. It offers smooth, step-free access suitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and prams, with seating dotted regularly along the route. You can reach the promenade via lifts or ramps from Federation Square, the Arts Centre Melbourne forecourt or Flinders Street Station, and there are accessible platform super stops nearby on St Kilda Road and Queens Bridge Street. The Evan Walker (Southgate) Bridge is also wide and level for easy river crossings. An accessible public toilet is located in the Southgate shopping centre food court, with additional accessible toilets and a Changing Places facility available at nearby Crown Melbourne and Hamer Hall. Accessible parking can be found at Southgate, the Arts Centre car park and other nearby spots such as Riverside Quay. Plenty of outdoor seating and dining options line the promenade, making it one of Melbourne’s most accessible and enjoyable waterfront areas.
