Parks & Nature

The Wynnum Wading Pool was built during the 1930s Depression as part of the Unemployment Relief System. The pool and adjoining playground are much-loved destinations for a family day out. The pool fills with seawater at high tide and is an ideal spot for kids to splash around and have fun without having to venture out into the open water. With facilities like a playground, 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 inclusion of an unfenced playground, water park and wading pool means that there is something for every age group and every possibility for fun. A popular design feature of the water park is the whale pod waterspray, with its main attraction being that the children get sprayed by the spouting whales – FUN! This park is also right next to Pandanus beach – a sandy, calm little stretch of water, perfect for young families. The nautical themed playground features lots of climbing areas, slides, wings and a play shop. Extending from the playground along the waterfront are marked bike paths and walkways so take the bikes or scooters.

The Wynnum Mangrove Boardwalk is a bewitching walk-upon-the-sea that meanders for 800m through a small section of the vast area of mangrove forest stretching all the way to the mouth of the Brisbane River via the Fisherman Islands. A vastly different experience depending on the tides being high or low, both are recommended. The former has a hushed still water ambience while the latter is a hive of activity with all the crab and sea creature life scampering amongst the mangrove roots below (a winner with children). Benches and information plaques in the form of a story book trail are dotted throughout to get the full picture of mangrove life for both children and adults and the walk culminates at a bird hide. At one point there is a not-to-be-missed platform jutting out to sea with splendid water and bay views. All in all the walk takes anything from half an hour to an hour or more, depending on the degree of loitering.
