Berwick Waters Grand Prix Playground This park is every bit as awesome as it sounds. Great equipment with flying foxes, swings and slides. A huge bonus is the awesome, parenting considered design – when standing in the middle almost everywhere is visible – handy to keep an eye on multiple kiddies at once! Most importantly – don't forget to bring your little one's bikes along so they can enjoy the race track.

Gembrook Leisure Park Gembrook is the hidden Gem in our Community! Enjoy a trip up the hills for some gorgeous food and coffee, fresh air, and immerse yourselves in nature. Puffing Billy also stops here! The Gembrook Leisure Park is always worth a visit. My children love the wooden equipment, pretending to drive the train/tractors, and the swings. There's a shaded area, bbq's and toilets! Enjoy exploring the town – Gillwell Scout Park and a variety of other sites, camping and nature trails can all be found!
