View of the playground from the top of the tunnel slide at Grandview Place Park.

Grandview Place Park in Carindale is a new playground set off to one side of a big green space. There is seating and plenty of lawn for a picnic or ball games, but the biggest draw card is the 6m tall tunnel slide.

Grandview Place Park playground

Although a smaller and unfenced playground, Grandview Place Park has a lot to offer.

The 6m slide is awesome fun. The steep climbing wall up to the slide is about the only thing that will slow down the number of times the older kids can zoom down the slide.

The main section of the playground has a bark base which is shaded in the early morning by large nearby trees. The play structure has a climbing wall, ladder, three platforms, a bridge, climbing net, two slides and two fire poles.

Around the structure there is a bouncy rocker, a spinner and several interactive play stations good for toddlers who are too small to climb. Off to the side there are two swings, once being a baby swing.

There’s a flat concrete pathway around the perimeter of the green space perfect for walking, scooting and riding. Or, bring a ball as there is plenty of lawn to run around. Four fitness stations are spaced along the pathway.

Note – Unfortunately there are NO public toilets at this playground.

Imagination Factor at Grandview Place Park

This park is a fun place for all ages of kids. Brisbane Kids will enjoy pretending they are mountaineers climbing the steep slope while tracking over the mounds up to the large slide before sliding down; this is sure to get their adrenaline going.

The ample green space and nearby trees encourage smaller children to climb. They can make their way up the forts/platforms and over the bridge and nets while keeping an eye out for birds and other explorers. When it’s time to make a quick escape, it’s down a fire pole or one of the smaller slides.

Tiny hands can play shops, count on the giant abacus and chat with friends using the two-way speakers.

Accessibility at Grandview Place Park

Unfortunately, Grandview Place Park is an unfenced playground, with no toilets.

The main section of the playground is shaded by large trees early in the morning, but as the sun moves, it doesn’t have shade for much of the day.

A flat concrete path runs around the perimeter of the bigger green space, which could be used for walking, prams, wheelchairs or scooters. Within the outer perimeter, you will find two different shaded picnic tables.

Note – the council has confirmed shade cloth is coming late in 2023.

What We Thought of Grandview Place Park

We thoroughly enjoyed a morning at Grandview Place playground.

The slides were the highlight, especially the big 6m slide. We think it’s a fabulous park for little explorers to swing, slide, seesaw and climb while older kids seem not to get tired of the giant slide. Next time, we will take our scooters also to enjoy the flat pathway.
