Rocket Park Playground

Carindale Recreation Reserve is known to locals as Rocket Park and it is easy to see why! Featuring a rocket with sound effects, a moon car, swings, rope pyramid, and moon rocks this a dream playground for space fans. (This is not to be confused with the Rocket Park at Ripley)

This park has toilets several shaded barbeque areas, big spaces to run or kick a ball, enough paths for a little bike to ride around and an adjacent basketball half court, tennis wall and an exercise circuit.

The playground is partially fenced (there’s a fence running along the internal park road, but it’s not an enclosure).

On weekends and during school holidays, you will find families enjoying the expanse of green space which lends itself to games of frisbee and other informal family games. It is also home to many local events and activities including some of the Brisbane City Councils active parks activity program.

Imagination Factor

Brisbane Kids will love climbing to the top of the pyramid climbing net, surveying their kingdom from up high. The double slide is perfect for racing friends down the slippery slopes.

Rocket Park would also make the perfect location for a space themed birthday party and even a fun stopover on the way home from a visit to the Sir Thomas Planetarium.

Accessibility

Carindale Recreation Reserve has modern wheelchair accessible toilets. Some features of the playground suit special needs, such as the spinning chairs. There is some structured shade over the playground equipment and lots of large shady trees throughout. The playground is only partially fenced.
