This excellent playground exists virtually in the shadow of the vast Carindale Shopping Centre but you’d swear you were out in the wilderness here. A large pasture extends down to Bulimba Creek, and the playground itself sits in a nicely shady gully with parking on site.
The theme here is space exploration, with the centrepiece being an elaborate rocket-ship slide modelled on the moon lander. It has bells and whistles and switches and gadgets that make noise and light up. A moon buggy sits in the middle of the sandpit, and there’s a spinning thing shaped like a satellite as well as space-themed puzzles to solve.
Little ones will love making small steps and giant leaps as they go from planet to planet in the solar system of spheres sticking out of the ground. Toilets are just up the hill at the end of a pathway, and there is a large penned area nearby for canine exercise too.
