The Town Basin Marina Village

The Town Basin is a popular place for locals and tourists alike to enjoy the unique interface of city and harbourside and lends itself perfectly to a family outing. The view alters daily as the tide moves through its cycle. Fishing boats, small pleasure craft, yachts and launches use the area creating an ever-changing vista and the ducks always appreciate a piece of bread from a friendly hand. A Destination Playground and liberty swing for children and a petanque court add the to range of facilities for people of all ages. A large outdoor chess board is set into the pavement outside one of the cafes, and giant sized chess pieces are available.  The area in and around the Town Basin can be booked for community-based events and activities.
