SKATE PARK playground

If you’re spending time in Cowell, this spot earns its keep on a hot day — the water feature gives kids somewhere to cool off while the skate park keeps the older ones busy for hours. It’s one of those places where families genuinely end up staying longer than planned. Being close to the foreshore caravan park means it’s dead easy to base yourself nearby and just walk over whenever you feel like it. Locals know it, but it’s not so overrun that you can’t enjoy it.
