At the top of the public space there will be a community pool to activate the space, and provide something that is currently lacking in Brisbanes CBD. The main reason behind the placement of a pool in the space is to connect the space with the identity of Queensland and its beach culture. While the pool has not been designed as a beach, it has been designed to reflect the characteristics of Queenslands beaches. The major one of which is the accessibility of the beach, and the sun. The space has no barrier between the public space and the water, in much the same way that southbank does. There is a shade cover over a part of the pool, which is designed to relfect the Nanotechnology tower. This serves to link the spaces together.
A large part of the area is also uncovered. Shade is provided to those who would like it through the use of umbrellas over day beds, and a large shading structure over the food court area. The pool area can be seen below.
