The South Bank Grand Arbour is a long, beautiful vine-covered walkway running through South Bank Parklands along the Brisbane River. The steel pergola structure stretches for about one kilometre and is draped with bougainvillea, creating a colourful shaded path for walking and cycling. Lined with gardens, seating and nearby cafés, it forms one of the central pedestrian corridors through the South Bank precinct.

The South Bank Grand Arbor is a kilometer-long sculpture installation in the South Bank Parklands. The structure serves as a pedestrian walkway. The arbor follows the course of the former Expo 88 boat canal. It consists of 443 steel vines, some reaching up to ten meters in height, supporting a lush canopy of purple bougainvillea.

Initially, the arbor was not well received, as it looked odd without vegetation.
