Wynnum Whale Park

Splash! Nothing like a great big tipping bucket to soak you to your skin on a summer's day and Wynnum Whale Park has one – along with a pod of blue whales spouting water and a series of shallow channels with dams to play with. Wynnum Whale Park has been many a parent's saviour on hot days, and it's right next to a regular playground in a vast sandpit with a mock sail raft to climb. A large toilet block separates the Whale Park from Wynnum Wading Pool, a very large free public bathing place. See you there.
