There’s no shortage of playgrounds on the Gold Coast for kids to let off steam on. Almost every beach and green space has a playground or some kind of play area to offer.
The people on the Goldy love their outdoors lifestyle and it’s great the local council has provided ample playgrounds and facilities to keep families happy.
If you have young kids, and you’re thinking of taking them to enjoy one of the Gold Coast playgrounds but not sure which one they will like, this guide is for you.
These are the best playgrounds on the Gold Coast that our kids love, stretching from Southport in northern Gold Coast, to Coolangatta in the south!
1. Broadwater Parklands, Southport
A short 5 kilometre drive north of Surfers Paradise brings you to the impressive Broadwater Parklands, a three kilometre stretch of parklands along the foreshore in Southport.
If you know where the Australia Fair shopping centre is, this park is directly across the road.
The main playground is spread out and offers plenty of equipment to keep kids of all ages going for hours. Highlights include the usual favourites like the jumping pillow, flying fox, climbing nets, and an awesome seesaw.
The pedal monorail is a unique feature of this playground, as is the shallow waterplay area.
There’s plenty of grass to run around on, pathways for a bike ride or scooter ride, BBQ facilities, picnic areas, and the Rockpool Cafe for your coffee fix.
There’s swimming in the patrolled Broadwater Beach area in season.
The Peninsula playground here also has trampolines!
At our time of visit, the ever popular Rockpools water play area was closed for annual maintenance, but this place is a hit on a sunny day!
2. Kurrawa Pratten Park, Broadbeach
Address: Old Burleigh Rd, Broadbeach QLD 4218, Australia
Right in the heart of Broadbeach and directly south of the Kurrawa Surf Club is Kurrawa Pratten Park.
Another large playground area, actually there’s two equipment areas close to each other with great slides, climbing equipment, merry-go-rounds, swings, a flying fox, fort, and ample grass areas for bigger kids to kick a ball around on while young children tackle the mega slide!
There’s excellent BBQ and picnic facilities, and what I love about this park is your right on the beach and opposite…
