Before You Go to a Park
Make sure you read our full park reviews so you know what to expect before heading to a local park or playground. Here are some important factors you may wish to consider:
- If you are new to Australia or visiting, make sure you dress the kids in a hat and apply suncream, as Australia’s UV ratings are some of the highest in the world. If there are a lot of trees or you are near water, consider packing some bug spray.
- All community playgrounds in Australia are free!
- Does the park have shade? If it’s not and it’s sand-based, be careful of heading there on a hot summer’s day.

I wish they didn’t have those open (jump off) sections on all playgrounds. Or atleast made them more difficult to get to so older kids could still use them and I didn’t have a heart attack exert time my 18 month old runs for them!

I totally agree :)-

I might have missed it in the listing above, but one park we have found that is truly awesome is Guyatt Park, next to the ferry terminal. It has a beautiful view over the river, particularly at sunset, and there are two playgrounds, an oval, toilets and barbeques. Both playgrounds are shaded, one for larger kids and one for the littlies, although neither are fenced. Can’t recommend it highly enough, a great place to go for a picnic or barbie while the kids amuse themselves on the equipment. There are even a few shops about 10 minutes walk away for an icecream or takeaway dinner if you are too lazy to cook a barbie!

I know Landsborough isn’t in Brisbane but it has the most fantastic park ever.
Ngaire Stirling
thanks!
Claudia
Agree with the Pioneer park in Landsborough, it’s fantastic and worth a day trip.
Judy

There is an awesome park in Calamvale. The Calamvale District Park on Formby Street Calamvale. It is a large park set away from the road with fantastic play equipment. The park has a flying fox, a huge slide and more. There are also BBQ’s and public ammenities.
Gav
yeah, that’s a superb park. Also, there’s a great little park at Perkins Street in Calamvale. Has beautiful spreading trees for climbing, lots of shade, plus equipment for young and old kids (and parents, too). No toilets though but good for a short stay.

Just spent the morning at New Farm park and can’t believe how good it was. Safe, well designed and loads to do. We found it from your site as we are on holidays. Thank you!
Monika
I wonder why there are so many more playgrounds on the northside than on the southside. Are more families living north?

Recently took my Grandson to the train park at Milton. He loved it!! Was so excited for the 2 hours we were there. Take the time to check it out, really worth it, especially if your child/Grandchild likes trains. Well done BCC.

You’ve forgotten the park at South Maclean. Loads of tall shady trees and plenty of space to run around and play. They’ve even got BBQs and stuff.

Thanks
