Barney Street Park provides access to the Nerang River at the river end of Barney Street, Southport, near the Gold Coast Highway's Sundale Bridge crossing. The site features a fishing platform that is a popular spot for local anglers.

Recommended target species can be pursued using yabbies, herrings, or bloodworms as bait, with light estuary outfits — typically seven to ten and a half feet — matched with two- to five-kilogram line.

The most productive fishing times are during the last of the run-out tide and through the run-in tide.
