Cod Hole Park Playground

Right on the edge of the Maroochy River, this one’s a solid pick if you want the kids running around while you actually get to enjoy the water views. It’s accessible, which matters more than people give it credit for, and the whole setup feels like it was designed with the whole community in mind rather than just ticking boxes. The urban location means you’re never far from a coffee or a park bench with a decent outlook. Locals treat it like a proper neighbourhood spot — nothing flashy, just genuinely good for a relaxed afternoon by the water.
