Bray Farm Park is an enchanting playground that offers a magical blend of art, culture, and adventure. With its Harry Potter theme and Halloween vibe, this park will inspire and captivate Brisbane Kids.
Despite its relatively small size, the park is bursting with character and charm, making it the perfect destination for anyone seeking a unique Harry Potter play experience.
Bray Farm Park playground
Bray Farm Park is tucked away in Griffin, a suburb north of Brisbane. It’s a park flanked by nature and designed to entertain children and ignite their imaginations. The park’s central focus is the ‘Harry Potter‘- like structure with turrets, windows, a bridge, a fire pole, climbing net and a slide.
Various bird and animal statues sit perched upon the cottage and around the play equipment, which could make for a fun game of I-spy. Giant pumpkins and tomatoes are dotted throughout the park too.
Children can test their climbing skills on the fire pole or scale the climbing sphere to see if they can get as high as the trees.
In addition to the play equipment, Brisbane Kids playing at Bray Farm Park can immerse themselves in nature, with the park surrounded by an abundance of native trees. Perhaps they could even spot koalas or kangaroos!
Unfortunately, there are NO toilet facilities located at this park. If you are local to this park or enjoy it, we suggest you contact your local councillor or state minister to see how they might be able to assist.
Imagination Factor at Bray Farm Park
This park is the perfect location to act out all the well know children’s stories involving magical themes. Is there room on your broom? That cat on the handrail, is it Mog or Professor McGonagall?
If you can imagine a few sweets over the outside, this could even be the cottage from Hansel and Gretel. Perhaps, with all the pumpkins lying about, this is the tower where Cinderella awaits her fairy Godmother so she can go to the ball.
Accessibility at Bray Farm Park
Concrete paths weave in and around the park and extend beyond, making the area accessible for wheelchairs, prams, scooters and bikes. Unfortunately, however, there is no direct concrete access to the equipment, and the playground base is mainly bark.
There is a shaded picnic table and bench seats. Shade is supplied by trees surrounding the playground. The park is not fenced and is relatively close to the road. The landscaping does provide a barrier to the road in places; however, young children should be supervised closely.

While You are in the Area
We always like to couple a visit to Bray Farm Park with an adventure at the nearby Osprey House Environment Centre. Take a walk along the boardwalk and check out the bird hides to see what animals you can see. And when it is time for a play, head down the road to Dohles Rocks Foreshore where you can have a coffee, walk along the foreshore and enjoy a play at the fully fenced playground. Toilets can be found near the boat ramp at the foreshore too
For another equally awesome Harry Potter experience head to the Store of Requirements at Samford or check our our Harry Potter Trail.
What We Thought of Bray Farm Park
We loved the very different look of this playground. My little Brisbane Kid enjoyed spotting all the animals and birds. Much of the equipment is in the direct sun during the middle of the day, so wearing a hat is advisable.
