This sweet, wooden playground on the edge of Sinnamon Park and Seventeen Mile Rocks has a relaxing treehouse vibe that will appeal to nature lovers big and small. It’s located along a tree lined bikeway and overlooks a gorgeous lake filled with birdlife, turtles, fish and lizards, making it a great spot for some outdoor time.
Edenbrooke Park Playground
Edenbrooke Park is home to a nature-inspired playground made of timber bridges, ladders and platforms that blend seamlessly into the leafy surroundings.
The main fort structure is adorned with paintings of native animals which add a pop of colour and point of interest for mini explorers. The playground space also contains a birds nest swing, standard swing set with toddler seat, chain climbing net and a small slide.
It’s primarily designed across the one level making it relatively easy to navigate for young visitors or Brisbane Kids who prefer to stay close to the ground. Notably, this playground relies entirely on the nearby eucalyptus trees for shade which provide only filtered protection from the sun.
From the playground, you’ll also notice the gleaming waters of the nearby lake and the serene sounds of birdlife (with the occasional screeching of fruit bats!). The walk around the lake is short and peaceful which makes it great for little legs and a really pleasant pathway for prams and wheelchairs.
The flat terrain of the bikeway is perfect for learner riders and for taking those training wheels off for the first time.
There’s also a nearby shelter, electric BBQ and bench seating to enjoy a morning picnic or BBQ lunch.
Unfortunately, there are NO toilet facilities at this park, which may impact the duration of your visit.
Imagination Factor at Edenbrooke Park
The simple design of this playground allows for imaginations to run wild with inspiration coming from the natural environment.
Wooden planks and beams could be a castle, cubby house, pirate ship or jungle retreat. There a plenty of nooks and crannies underneath the platforms which lend themselves to games of hide and seek and interactive play between parents and children.
Budding animal enthusiasts and keen foragers will also love the endless opportunities to spot wildlife, find interesting feathers and add to that ever-growing rocks/leaves/sticks collection.

What We Thought of Edenbrooke Park
The words ‘hidden gem’ came to mind when we arrived at the tranquil Edenbrooke Park with its beautiful lake setting it apart from your usual residential playground.
We were content to spend a few hours here with toddler to early primary school aged children. This playground might be low on thrill factor and fancy details but it’s certainly got its own charm.
