A stunning new playground akin to a miniature theme park has been opened in Brisbane’s north just in time for the school holidays.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the revolutionary new playscape at Bradbury Park in Kedron will attract families from right across Brisbane.
“Brisbane is Australia’s lifestyle capital and our incredible network of more than 2,100 parks has helped create that reputation,” he said.
“We are investing record amounts in parks, playgrounds and greenspaces throughout Brisbane’s suburbs because we know how valued they are by families.
“Bradbury Park is an amazing example of how we’re taking playground upgrades to the next level.
“I’m confident families who experience Bradbury Park will all acknowledge that it’s one of Brisbane’s best.
“In fact, I’m sure my four kids are going to want me to bring them back to Bradbury Park time and time again.”
Bradbury Park brings to life the innovative concept of a biological city, with hollow towers, by-ways and bridges that are perfect for older children looking for adventure.
Designed to seamlessly blend with the park’s natural surroundings, the playscape incorporates existing and newly planted greenery, with the project including 4700 new plantings.
Other recent upgrades include a nature play space for younger kids, scooter track, dog park, toilet block, expanded carpark and basketball court.
Marchant Ward Councillor Fiona Hammond said the Bradbury Park playscape, which came after significant community consultation, will encourage families to embrace the outdoors and spend some quality time together.
“Bradbury Park is already an award-winning park, and I am thrilled that we have been able to deliver this incredible project for local residents,” she said.
“Parks like this help make our local area even better and bring the community together.
“Whether it’s to celebrate, exercise, play or have a birthday party, our parks and greenspaces are the perfect place for free family fun all year round.”
The opening of the new Bradbury Park comes after Council delivered new nature-themed playgrounds at Hanlon Park in Stones Corner and Warril Parkland in Larapinta.
Other landmark new playgrounds delivered in Brisbane recently include Grinstead Park, Alderley, Kangaroo Gully Park, Bellbowrie, Sandgate Foreshores Park, Sandgate, Wishart Community Park, Wishart and Primrose Park in Wynnum.
