CREEC playground wooden poles, sandstone blocks and macadamia nut structure.

Finally, a playground that offers a diverse range of play opportunities for everyone. Welcome to Caboolture Region Environmental Education Centre (CREEC) Adventure Park at Burpengary.

This location caters to all adventurers’ needs, offering various experiences. Two-storey towers and a vast nature play mountain await adventurous, boisterous climbers. Similarly, specifically designed spaces appeal to kids who prefer a quieter style of play. Inclusive play equipment allows children of all abilities to play alongside their peers. The space enables active, sensory, musical, imaginative and social play for visitors, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

CREEC Playground

This fully fenced playground, designed with engagement in mind, has so much to offer.

The latest addition to the playground is a nature-inspired sandstone and rubber soft fall mountain, offering a range of embankment play opportunities. Scurry up the bulky sandstone blocks or scale the large cargo net to reach the top. A macadamia nut hut awaits at the summit, offering views over the playground and surrounding area. Two lofty embankment slides return youngsters to the ground.

A wooden agility course offers a challenge that includes balancing and climbing activities, a swaying hammock for rest, and totem poles adorned with local flora and fauna to spark curiosity.

Concrete paths snake around the playground, providing a smooth surface for scooters, wheelchairs and prams.

In-ground trampolines, soft fall domes, a ride-on excavator, and a water play area invite children to play with all their senses.

The central flying fox equipment features two parallel runs for simultaneous flying. One run has a disk seat, while the other has a high-backed seat with a harness, which may suit children who cannot use a regular flying fox.

Next, step into the designated music area and immerse yourself in the delightful sounds. Musical instruments, including a xylophone, resonant tubular bells, and inviting inclined drums, are thoughtfully spaced apart, setting the stage for multiple people to play together.

A large carousel has a seat and room for two wheelchairs for those who love to spin. A tiny hut provides a quiet place to hide. A kiddie conveyor gives a bumpy ride. Swings, including an infant swing and a large plastic nest, are provided for those who love to swish and sway.

A substantial multi-level fort includes several towers with a diverse range of play elements. The smallest tower can be accessed via a mini climbing wall or a ramp with handrails. The ramp is wide enough for a wheelchair, with interactive panels lining the walls, making it an ideal space for toddlers learning to walk and play.

The additional towers, designed for older children, are interconnected and motivate kids to explore. They include climbing nets, bubble windows, a track ride for speed, a tunnel for crawling through, steep banister bars, and multiple slides for an easy descent.

Imagination Factor at CREEC

Explore a world of open-ended play opportunities in this space. Inspired by nature, the environment and play elements offer countless chances to delve into the natural world. Walk on stepping stones through the gardens, follow printed animal tracks along the paths, and discover sculptures of native animals.

Read the information in the park to learn about the carefully selected plants that serve as a food source or habitat for birds, insects, and reptiles. Feel the sand and bark underfoot and running water between inquisitive fingers.

The main multi-level playground invites kids to imagine they are entering a treehouse or castle and look out over the land below from atop one of the towers. They can then return to the ground before taking off on another adventure in a different area within the space.

Accessibility at CREEC

The community space is easily accessible, with smooth concrete paths suitable for wheelchairs and prams. The playground features rubber soft fall surfaces and some shaded areas.

The café and toilets, including an accessible toilet and change table, are located on flat ground outside the centre building.

At this location, there are many pieces of play equipment for all abilities, including a nest swing, flying fox seat with harness, wheelchair-accessible carousel, ramp access to part of the play fort, springy gravity rider with arm, foot, and backrests, musical elements, and interactive game panels.

Ample seating is located around the playground’s so parents and caregivers can keep a close eye on children while playing.

Other Areas to Explore at CREEC

Really make a day of you visit to CREEC and explore the Environment Educational Centre before heading off on a gentle bush walk.

The education centre is manned by friendly and knowledgable volunteers who are only too happy to discuss the environment that surrounds CREEC. The kids won’t even know they are learning as they utilise the many fun activities within the centre.

Free to access during opening hours, the centre has magnifying glasses, touch tables, a nocturnal room, books, puzzles, art and craft and plenty of other awesome activities to enjoy.

The walking tracks are set in both natural and man-made ecosystems and vary in length from 400m to 1.5km. The tracks are flat and made from crushed rock, making them wheelchair and pram friendly in fair weather, though at times can become muddy and have obstacles such as holes, uneven ground and puddles.

While you are walking take a moment to look around and see what you can discover – from weird fungus, pretty birds, bugs and maybe even a koala, you never know what you will find on your nature walk at CREEC.
