The William Taylor Memorial Sportsfield nearby provides facilities for soccer, netball, cricket and tennis.

Yes, a council‑managed boat ramp is located at the corner of Queens Esplanade and Helen Street on the south bank of Tingalpa Creek, just a short walk from the property. This gives convenient launching access for small boats and kayaks.
