Pratten Park Playground

If you’ve got a toddler in tow, this Broadbeach park is one of those spots you’ll keep coming back to. The pedal train is the main drawcard — little ones are obsessed with it — and there’s also slides, swings, and a water feature to keep them busy for a solid chunk of the afternoon. BBQs and plenty of benches mean you can actually relax while they run it out on the open grass. The beach is basically right there too, so it’s easy to tack on a swim once everyone’s had their fill of the playground.
