Kidspace Playground

If you’re looking for a full-day family outing in Chermside, this one delivers. The centrepiece is a big fort-style climbing structure — the kind kids disappear into for ages — and most of it sits undercover, so a bit of Queensland sun or a passing shower won’t cut the day short. There’s a play train, musical equipment, swings, slides, and a seesaw, so younger kids aren’t left out either. Pack the esky because the BBQ and picnic tables get good use here, and the bike track alongside the open grass field means older kids have somewhere to burn off extra energy. Parking is easy, shade is plentiful, and honestly it’s one of the better-equipped local parks in the area.
