Playgrounds with Mega Slides
HUGE SLIDES TO DISCOVER
NORTH BRISBANE & MORETON REGION
FREW PARK AT MILTON
Although there is plenty to see and do at Frew Park, one of the highlights is the 5m high mega tube slide. There is also another fun slide to enjoy (3m wide x 3m high), which will have little ones giggling with joy.
Location
Between Milton Road and Frew Street, Milton
THE GREEN AT CARSELDINE VILLAGE
Scale the multi-storey tower and descend on one of the two tunnel slides, which will have you speeding to the ground in no time. You can then burn some energy on the fitness equipment, kick a ball, or have a hit of tennis.
Location
Beams Road, Carseldine (Access via Gate 3 on Dorville Road)
SOUTH BRISBANE
RIVERSIDE GREEN PLAYGROUND AT SOUTH BANK PARKLANDS
Adults haven’t been forgotten at this colourful playground in the heart of South Bank. The Skywalk and large enclosed slides are made for the ‘bigger’ kids too, so the whole family can slip, slide and scale their way around this fun playground.
Location
South Bank Parklands (near the Boat Pool and Streets Beach)
CALAMVALE DISTRICT PARK AT CALAMVALE
After scaling this popular Calamvale playground’s 8m high netting structure and wobbling your way across the sky bridges, the fastest way back down to ground level is via the enclosed metal mega slide.
Location
Ormskirk Street, Calamvale
LOGAN CITY
BUXTON PARK AT YARRABILBA
To get to the top of the two slides at Buxton Park, you will need to scale the huge tower, which stands over 8m above ground. Of course, what goes up must come down, so pick one of the tunnel slides and speed down to the bottom, to start all over again.
Location
Buxton Avenue, Yarrabilba
IPSWICH REGION
ROTARY PARK AT BELLBIRD PARK
The wow factor at the leafy Rotary Park comes from the giant tube slide. Children can clamber up the sloped walkway or climb up the vertical rope tunnel, then, after stopping to soak up the view, can zoom back to the playground below via the enormous slide.
Location
45 Columbia Drive in Brentwood Forest, Bellbird Park
TUCKER FAMILY PARK AT BELLBIRD PARK
A 10m tall cube tower stands proudly in Tucker Family Park and offers those who are game enough to climb it a fantastic view. The enormous 18m tube slide will then transport visitors back to the bottom. There is even a smaller tube slide for younger children to enjoy.
Location
Corner of Alesana Drive & Ardie Court in Brentwood Forest, Bellbird Park
RIVER HEART PARKLANDS IN IPSWICH
After scaling a web of nets to the top, kids can then zip back down to the bottom via a large, metal tube slide, before cooling off in the adjacent zero-depth splash area or enjoying other waterplay activities.
Location
King Edward Parade, Ipswich
