Cauldrons Cafe and Emporium

BRAY FARM PARK – GRIFFIN

A whimsical public playground on Brisbane’s northside, Bray Farm Park will delight Brisbane Kids with its Harry Potter-esque themed play equipment. There is a quirky castle to climb, a rickety bridge to cross and a web of ropes to scale. Of course the more traditional equipment, like swings and a slide, are also part of the playground and there is plenty of space to run around and kick a ball too. While there is a shelter and picnic tables, there are NO toilets.
