Best Kids Parks in Brisbane Inner City

Updated: Sep 12, 2022

You don't have to venture far from the Brisbane CBD to find some great kids' playgrounds. Here's 6 of the best, both within and on the edge of the city:

Riverside Green Playground

Riverside Green, South Bank's most popular playground, is a magnet for kids, with river and city views

City Botanic Gardens Playground

Brisbane city's enchanted playground can be found in the city’s oldest park – the City Botanic Gardens

Roma Street Parkland

The Children's Playground is a series of connected playgrounds featuring climbing nets, sculptures, slides and mini huts and also has a children's vege patch nearby

New Farm Park

The iconic playground is known for its fortresses which stretch alongside ancient fig trees as well as a giant climbing net and nature play

Captain Burke Park

Nestled at the base of the Story Bridge’s imposing south pylon is this park with one of the city’s most striking outlooks

Teneriffe Park

Hidden away atop Teneriffe’s highest (44m) hill is this charming little green domain, overlooking nineteenth century cottage chimneys

And in a nod to its history, Howard Smith Wharves has a boat playground with sand base, which kids can have fun climbing all over (top image).
