Looking for a playground that keeps kids of all ages entertained? The playground at The Surrounds, Helensvale, is packed with opportunities for adventure, exploration and imaginative play.
Designed to encourage children to challenge themselves, this innovative playground combines sensory experiences, active play and plenty of opportunities for safe risk-taking. For older children, the standout feature is the impressive double climbing cube. Reaching the slides is all part of the fun, with no traditional stairs or platforms – kids must navigate their way through rope nets and climbing elements before enjoying the ride down. It’s a dream playground for confident climbers and adventurous kids!
Not quite ready for the big climbing challenges? Younger children and less confident explorers have their own space to enjoy, complete with slides, stairs, a ride-on jeep and a see-saw. There are also trampolines, a rope swing and a flying fox that are always popular with children of all ages.
One of the biggest attractions is the fantastic sand and water play area, where little ones can dig, splash and create to their hearts’ content. If your kids love messy play, be prepared to stay a while!
The playground is also a favourite spot for birthday parties and family gatherings, thanks to the large picnic shelter equipped with BBQs, tables and seating. The addition of shade sails has made the space even more comfortable, although it can still get quite warm on hot days. For the best experience, plan your visit for early morning or late afternoon.
Parents will appreciate the nearby community centre, which offers café facilities and toilets close by. With so much to see, do and explore, it’s easy to see why this playground has become a favourite destination for local families.
