Fursman Crossing Park

Out near Enoggera Reservoir, this one’s more of a green escape than a dedicated play destination — but that’s kind of the appeal. The Brisbane Trail Marathon route runs close by, so you’ll often see trail runners passing through, which gives it a bit of energy. It’s the sort of spot locals use as a launching pad for a bigger outdoor day rather than a standalone trip. The park ‘n’ ride access makes it surprisingly easy to get to from Brisbane without the hassle of finding parking deeper in.
