Playground

If your kids are slide obsessed, this Pacific Pines spot is worth the trip — the slides here are genuinely big, not the token little ones you find at half the parks around the Gold Coast. There’s a solid chunk of open grass for kids who just need to run, and the bike track and paved path mean you can bring the scooters and bikes without any drama. Swings cover the younger ones, and the BBQ area makes it easy to stretch the visit into an afternoon. Honestly, it works for pretty much every age group, which isn’t always a given at parks around here.
