The Yarra River Walk in Melbourne’s CBD offers excellent accessibility for people using wheelchairs, mobility aids, prams or strollers. The paths along Southbank Promenade and the north bank near Federation Square and Birrarung Marr are wide, mostly flat and sealed with concrete or bitumen, featuring gentle gradients that make them easy to navigate. Access is straightforward from Flinders Street Station via nearby accessible platform super stops, with lifts available from Federation Square and the Arts Centre forecourt down to river level, plus ramped paths from surrounding streets and gardens. Wide pedestrian bridges such as the Evan Walker Bridge and Princes Bridge provide level crossings between banks. Seating is available at regular intervals along the promenades, and accessible toilets can be found nearby at Southgate. The route is a shared path, so users should stay alert for cyclists, and a few short sections may have minor undulations or metal joints that can become slippery when wet, but overall the CBD stretch remains continuous and highly suitable for most mobility needs.
