Water skiing is just one of the aquatic sports possible on the Mary River.
Most power boating and water skiing is done on a straight stretch of the river east of the Lamington Bridge, where Aquatic Park provides a boat launching ramp. The many fine sporting grounds available in the city make it easy to get together a friendly game of softball. Or baseball, or cricket, or football, or hockey, or whatever game you prefer. More details of the sporting facilities available can be found on the sporting facilities page. Within sight of Queens park are wharves, slipways for ships, a marina and chandlery catering for those who love to muck about with boats.
