Great park for older kids with flying fox ping pong tables (bring your own bat and ball) huge slide and spectacular rope climbing thing. Not too much for the littlies except water play so take a towel. Pram access to chase toddler around is really bad. Too many steps.

Fantastic playground! The kids loved the water area - if you have little kids, wear some clothes you don't mind getting wet because you'll probably have to get in too!!

Great park with lots of different things to keep the kids amused for hours. Understandably there were lots of kids and prams weren't too easy to get around but I have to agree, the best water play area I've seen.

One of th best in the entire greater Sydney area. The highlight is of course the water play area. Other equipment cover needs for all ages. Just great.

Great park, keeps kids of all ages entertained! Just remember a towel.

Tourist essential but be prepared for big crowds. Take a change of clothes and a towel for the water play. In such a busy area, active supervision is recommended. There is an emergency communications station in the playground area.

This is a fantastic park for children aged from toddlers to teens. It is right next to the skate park. The playground is fully enclosed and has several areas from climbing webs, to musical drums and also a sand and water play area. The soft fall is a mixture of rubber and sand. There is also a spring see-saw, sand digger, and rock wall. There are numerous picnic tables as well as a large grass area that has nice shady trees to sit under for a picnic or a play. The existing toilet didn't really meet my expectations of what a good public toilet should be like but when we there they were in the middle of constucting a brand new toilet block. Hopefully once this new block is completed it will be maintained better than the old.

A hidden gem! Only one turn-off from South Road, but quiet enough to hear the birds twittering. Plenty of shady picnic spots from which to watch a cricket match on weekend mornings. Toddlers can explore the fenced area in safety (with supervision) and older kids will enjoy the advanced equipment alongside.

The Pirate Ship is gone! So there is very little left for under fives. I hope they replace it with something else.

This was an awesome park. It was quite spread out which kept the kids interested. The only thing is if you have littlies, it isn't fully fenced in. Also, make sure you pack a lunch for there isn't really anything near by. Other than that, this is a great park, very different and worth a look. My kids gave it an A+.

As visitors from interstate, we found this park on a Brisbane Kids website with no other information than was found online. And when we arrive we instantly loved it!

Creatively designed and laid out it was a refreshing change from the regular plastic fantastic structures. There was charm and character and even though you still have swings and a flying fox, it's the pleasant riverside atmosphere that makes it a relaxing place for the whole family.

We highly recommend it!

Great park!!!!!!! Amazing!!!!! Just wish I knew no dogs are allowed in the play area as I brought our puppy.

Huge playground right on esplanade, for all ages. Nothing missing from this one!

Great playground for all ages with water areas which are great fun! The toddler section is on the other side of the main cafe. My 20 month old loved it and we came here for a few hours every day of our holiday!

The best in cairns. Only missing swings but your kids won't notice them missing with so much to do! Very toddler friendly.

Great playground for all ages. We went with our 1.5 year old and he loved it. Especially great on a hot day. Lots of water features for the kids to cool off! .

Excellent park.

Flying fox is too good!! For kids and grown ups.

What a great park with good facilities. Unfortunately no shade in the park itself, but great none the less.

FANTASTIC park for all ages. Great that it's fully fenced but it AMAZES me how many adults let children that are not their own out of the gates without their parent or guardian. PLEASE BE A BIT MORE RESPONSIBLE.

The playground area is fully fenced so that you can relax a little in the knowledge that it is unlikely that your child will be able to escape into danger. However, it is a very large area, and you still need to actively supervise your child - they could nip out when someone else opens a gate for instance.

There is a great range of activities for different age groups.

Some of the 'decor' is beginning to look a bit battered, but the actual equipment is in great condition. The only thing I have a real problem with is the slides - stainless steel! Even in the winter sun they can burn you! Absolutely ridiculous.

With all the great reviews I decided to check it out. It is a well spaced out area and fairly large. The slides are average and I agree about the comment re the material used for the slides. Plenty of cigarette buts on the ground was a big turn off. Compared to Lilydale lake park or Montrose this is a pretty average playground.

I though there is a poor use of space for such a large area. The only playground equipment for toddlers is swings, slides and a sandpit. Nothing for them to run and climb on, such as a fort. Other than that there is a flying fox, which is only suitable for older kids and a climbing dome, which is not suitable for toddlers. Overall I found this park disappointing.

The park and play equipment is fantastic, however when they say the park is for toddlers, it is really aimed at those with great balance and lots of confidence to compete with older children.
Early morning visits are best for toddlers as it can get very busy and there is a lot of bustle. Also due to metal slides that get very warm.

This is a brand new park, lots of different things to play on. It has 3 or 4 different swings, spinning wheels, climbing rock wall and ropes, musical instruments and climbing bridges and logs. They also have a water and sand area.

There are a couple of areas to have lunch, including BBQs. They have double fenced exit gates and a reasonable amount of parking.

My only annoyance was that we went to use the toilets outside the play area (the signs said open 6am- 9pm self locking), but they were locked, we couldn't get in and I tried to call the number posted on the door but no one answered. (So it was a bush wee for my 3 yr old daughter and mum had to cross her legs. Not good.)

This playground has been redeveloped in the past few weeks. The equipment is AMAZING and has to be seen to be believed!!!!! Giant musical intruments, climbing equipment, swings, slides, natural features, see-saws, things that spin, a great waterplay feature, sandpits etc.

Soft fall areas are sand.

It is amazing playground. My son love it!

What a cool playground! Love that it’s fenced. More shade would make it even better.
The fountain area in the parklands outside was fun to explore too. Nice eating spaces and water bubblers for drinking.
