Pizzey Park is an open-air sports and recreation precinct in Miami, a suburb in the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. The site is owned and operated by the Gold Coast City Council.
The Australian Institute of Sport established their training facilities for canoe/kayak at Pizzey Park in June 1991 at a cost of $500,000. The park was expanded to accommodate this additional facility, extending westward into the neighbouring suburb of Mermaid Waters.
The Gold Coast City Council released the Pizzey Park Masterplan in 2021. This report was developed through consultation with the local community and other stakeholders, and seeks to guide the development of the park over a ten year timeframe with completion expected to occur by the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Ten priority projects have been identified within the masterplan aimed at achieving the stated goal of improving the quality of facilities, encouraging further community use and reducing areas of the park which lack functionality and accessibility.
Skateboard and BMX facilities are available. The site also provides a network of tracks for walking, jogging and cycling, around a number of lakes as well as an off-leash dog park.
The site includes the Miami Aquatic Centre featuring two outdoor heated swimming pools and one indoor teaching pool.
