This guide groups pram-friendly walks by the kind of outing you want, from short garden loops to foreshore paths and wetland tracks. It draws on council and Visit Brisbane pages where they exist and on Brisbane Kids for walk lengths and surface descriptions. Where a figure comes from Brisbane Kids it is attributed and dated, because lengths and descriptions can change.
Short and sheltered: garden loops
The council says Mt Coot-tha’s botanic gardens are accessible for wheel mobility devices including prams. It also publishes a mobility map that covers pathway gradients and accessible toilets, so you can check how steep a section is before you push up it. At 9 November 2026, per Brisbane Kids, the Hide n Seek Trail there takes no more than 30 minutes or is around 700 metres, depending on the trail, and Brisbane Kids suggests it for toddlers.
In the city, Brisbane Kids describes the City Botanic Gardens as having flat pathways as far as the eye can see, and lists a self-guided walk of 2 kilometres (at 9 November 2026, per Brisbane Kids). The council notes the Riverwalk through the gardens is a shared pathway for riders and walkers, so keep to one side and watch for bikes.
Roma Street Parkland is another compact choice. Brisbane Kids calls its pathways pram friendly and lists a loop of 1.4 kilometres (at 9 November 2026, per Brisbane Kids). At 9 November 2026, per Visit Brisbane, baby change facilities are located at key points through the parkland, including the Carriage Shed and the Amphitheatre. See our Roma Street Parkland guide for more.
Along the river
Visit Brisbane describes the Brisbane Riverwalk as linking New Farm with the city as a suspended pathway above the water. The cycling and pedestrian pathways are separate. From New Farm you can join at Riverview Court. At the city end, it finishes at Howard Smith Wharves and then connects to a riverside boardwalk that runs to the Botanic Gardens. Our Riverwalk guide covers it in detail.
For a longer version, Brisbane Kids lists 2.2 kilometres of pram-friendly track alongside the river from New Farm Park to Teneriffe, with a cafe at the Powerhouse and a playground at the park (at 9 November 2026, per Brisbane Kids). Our New Farm Park guide has more about that end.
Foreshore walks for longer outings
At 9 November 2026, Brisbane Kids describes wide, smooth pathways along the Wynnum to Manly esplanade, with a 10 kilometre round trip. On the north side, the same page lists a wide, flat path of about 2 kilometres between Shorncliffe and Sandgate, with cafes along the way. See the Wynnum and Manly guide and Sandgate and Shorncliffe guide for local detail.
Bush and wetland tracks
At 9 November 2026, Brisbane Kids lists Toohey Ridge Track in Toohey Forest Reserve as a wide, flat 5 kilometre return track. It also describes the 2.8 kilometre Greater Wetland Walk at Berrinba Wetlands as completely accessible and gentle, winding along boardwalks and bridges. The same page lists a children’s playground, picnic area, toilets and fitness equipment at Berrinba Wetlands. Our walking trails for beginners page has other ideas.
Sun and checks before you go
Cancer Council Australia recommends that babies under 12 months are kept away from direct sunlight when UV levels reach 3 or above. It also suggests making use of any available shade for the pram, stroller or play area. Lengths and surface descriptions from Brisbane Kids are a guide only, and the council’s mobility map is the place to check gradients at Mt Coot-tha.
