In a great location beside the Brisbane River (near Streets Beach and the Boat Pool), this state-of-the art playground is bright and bold.

Suitable for all ages and abilities, older children can clamber up and enjoy views over the parklands from the skywalk, while toddlers will love the little boat (with wheelchair access).

The playground also features climbing nets, slides, swings and a giant hamster wheel much like the real one that will keep the kids entertained for hours.
