I called this post Wynnum,
but in fact I am concentrating on one area, and that is Wynnum Kids Water Park
& Playground, plus Whale Park & Wading area.
From where we live at Camp Hill
it takes twenty minutes by car to get there. This area is amazing on so many levels;
it is a playground dream for kids. With facilities like two separate playgrounds,
accessible toilets, shelter, nearby cafes, bike racks, parking and bike paths, Wynnum Kids Water Park and Playground has all of the practicalities sorted
out.
The Wynnum Wading Pool was
originally built during the 1930's Depression as part of the Unemployment
Relief System. The pool and adjoining playground is a much-loved destination
for a family day out. The pool fills with seawater at high tide and is an ideal
spot for kids to have some water fun, without having to venture out into the
open water.
A popular design feature of
one of the parks, which has an ocean theme, is the whale pod waterspray, with
its main attraction being that the children get sprayed by the spouting whales,
Jarvis had so much fun getting soaked! . There are several shaded spots of the playground,
however the water park is in the sun.
The park is also right next
to Pandanus beach – a sandy, calm little stretch of water, perfect for young
families. There is also the Jetty to walk and explore.
Besides the barbeques and
heaps of space to set up a picnic, there are many shops and cafes within easy
walking distance for snacks and supplies.
ps I know this post is image heavy, but there is so much to show.
