If you have a pirate mad child at home, this is a playground you need to add to your park bucket list. For hours of pirate fuelled fun, head west to the seriously fun Flagstone Pirate Ship Park.
Pirate Ship Park Flagstone Playground
Flagstone Pirate Park is probably one of Brisbaneโs best pirate-themed playgrounds. Upon arrival your eye will be drawn to the 18-meter-long, two-level pirate ship suited to kindergarten and primary school-aged kids.
The upper level of the structure is easily accessible by stairs and cargo netting. It has a plastic slide for racing and a single, super-fast metal slide for the daring. Another way to descend is the sliding pole. The upper level also has a suspended balancing board, which weโve not seen in a playground before.
Underneath the pirate ship are numerous small hammocks for when the pirates need a quiet minute or two. There are also treasure chests to hide new treasures in, a letterbox to send maps through and an interactive wall. Hidden about the play space are markers as part of a treasure map. See if they can find them all.
Adjacent to the pirate ship is a swing set with a standard swing and a toddler swing. There are also small rubber mounds to climb. A grassy knoll offers an excellent place for a picnic, rolling down the hill or a game of tag.
Imagination Factor at Pirate Ship Park Flagstone
Itโs hard to find anything more inspiring than a giant pirate ship! Let your little pirates run amok, sail the seven seas, start a mutiny, or fire cannons. They can also peer through the spyglasses, search for lost treasure, hide new treasures and steer the ship to safety. They can also expel their energy by jumping from island to island, climbing the cargo nets, escaping sharks and slipping down the slides. Fun, fun, fun.
Accessibility at Pirate Ship Park Flagstone
The Pirate Ship Park is a fantastic playground but itโs not particularly inclusive for those with physical limitations. There also isnโt a lot for toddlers to do independently. Toddlers will be able to access the upper level of the pirate ship; however, they would need to be within armโs reach because of the gaps in the flooring.
As the park is situated in a residential estate, there isnโt a carpark for the playground, nor is there a toilet.
Roadways are near to the park, and the playground is unfenced, so extra caution and supervision should be utilised.
Owing to the size of the structure it is partially shaded; however, the surface of the pirate ship can become hot. Shoes would be essential in the warmer months and during peak UV times. It would be ideal for visiting outside of these times.
