Bulimba Memorial Park playground

Down by the river in Bulimba, this playground sits inside Memorial Park — one of those spots locals keep coming back to on weekends because the whole setup just works. The grassy surrounds give kids plenty of room to roam beyond the equipment itself, and the riverside setting means you’re not just stuck watching them play from a bench. Worth noting it’s not wheelchair accessible, so keep that in mind if needed. Bring a picnic blanket and make an afternoon of it — families in the area have been doing exactly that for years.
