What I love the most about Cabbage Tree Point is that it delivers a different experience every time we go. Depending on the weather, there are so many different things to do. While I usually love the nice sunny beach days spent here and on the playground, recent sunset visits exploring the mudflats and going for a walk were just as fun!! No matter the tide, come with your towel and a change of clothes when you visit and you'll have a ball.

Forest Green Park, Pimpama
Forest Green Park in Gainsborough Greens (Pimpama) is a quiet achiever. As a neighbourhood park it certainly isn't the biggest playground around, but the 8m high hill slide, timber log play forts and climbing tree have enough to keep little minds busy and let the imaginations run wild!

Hinze Dam Visitor Centre & View Cafe
While Hinze Dam is best known as the Gold Coast’s water supply, many are surprised when they visit and take in its stunning hinterland setting, with onsite View Café taking prime position to capture the breathtaking vistas. Add to this the state of the art information centre, dam wall walk, picnic grounds, pathways, fishing coves and mountain bike trails, and you’ve got yourself a great spot for locals and tourists.

The Faerie Park, Merrimac
Do you have a little one fascinated by fairies?? Hidden away in the suburbia of Merrimac, lies a little playground that encourages imaginative play in children of all ages. The Faerie Park on first glance doesn’t look as enticing as some of the newer playgrounds with all their fancy play equipment, but take a moment to look a little closer and see what you can find… perhaps a troll, a goblin or even a faerie!

Karawatha Forest Discovery Centre & Nature Play
Just 30 minutes north of the Gold Coast lies Brisbane City Council’s Karawatha Forest Discovery Centre, and Queensland’s first nature play space for kids! With an interactive self-guided experience, visitors young and old can learn about the forest and all the animals that live there. Fly over the forest in a virtual reality experience, check out the night time forest audio visual experience and catch frogs in an interactive floor projection. Once you’re finished at the Discovery Centre, kids can get back to nature in the water play, climbing features, discovery trails and sculptural artworks of the Nature Play space.
