Enoggera Reservoir
3.
Nestled in the western suburb of The Gap, Enoggera Reservoir, formally known as Enoggera Dam is a must do fresh water swimming hole for Brisbane families. You are welcome to swim, canoe, kayak in/on the water, but motorised water vehicles are prohibited. There are often families with inflatable water devices, mats, boogie boards, rubber rings and mattresses.

4.
Shorncliffe Beach & Lower Moora Park Shorncliffe Beach is a great place for younger kids to cool off on a hot day. As well as having an EPIC playground, kids can walk along the pier, play in the sand, fossick in the rocks, climb the giant trees and paddle in the water.

Rocks Riverside Park
5.
The water play area alone makes this an ideal choice. It’s a gorgeous piece of land that’s brimming with potential when it comes to exciting, engaging and creative outdoor play. There are just so many opportunities for kids to have fun here that you won’t be able to help but join in as well! Find out more: www.familiesmagazine.com.au/playgrounds-south-east-queensland
