Rotary Park at Redcliffe – A Seaside Playground

A play at the nautical themed playground, next to the seaside at Redcliffe, could only be made better by a spot of fishing.

Rotary Park Playground

Rotary Park, also known as Amity Playground, is located on the stunning waterfront at Redcliffe and as such, is considered a favourite playground among locals.

This partially fenced playground includes a flying fox, swings, slides, a play ship, climbing opportunities, barbeques, plenty of seating and some shady spots to sit and relax.

For those children that want a more relaxed time at the playground, perhaps sitting under the shade of a tree or swaying on the swings, looking out to sea, would be more to their liking. Can they see the boats passing by or perhaps someone fishing?

It’s adjacent to the beach, making it perfect for a picnic, an afternoon of fish and chips, and playground fun. Perhaps tie this in with a spot of fishing and you have the perfect day out.

As mentioned, this playground is only partially fenced (from the road side), and is near a waterway, so we strongly advise a high degree of supervision for all children.

Imagination Factor at Rotary Park

This playground’s seaside location and nautical theme promotes some pretty cool play ideas. Your little captain can take the lead whilst cruising the seas in search of pirates and the rest of the crew can keep an eye out from the many vantage points within the fort structures.

Accessibility at Rotary Park

Concrete paths, suitable for wheelchairs and prams, lead from the carparks, and continue along the waterfront in both directions. Paths also lead to the nearby toilets.

Electric barbeques, covered picnic tables and other shady seating is dotted around this playground, making it the ideal venue on a hot day. Oh and did we mention the view? It’s stunning with glittering waters and the Redcliffe Jetty all in plain sight.

Rotary Park is only partially fenced, so extra care should be taken with young children, given its proximity to the waterfront and the road.

Unfortunately, there is no equipment that is considered accessible and the playground has a bark base, making access difficult for some.

While You Are in the Area

Another fantastic Brisbane Playground by the water, and not too far away is Scarborough Beach Park  where you will find pirate and train themed play areas and lots of picnic facilities.

For a bit of fun in the water (and a play at the park) try Settlement Cove Lagoon and Playground. Be warned though – this place is very popular in the Summer months.

Locals Tip: Bee Gees Way is just down the road (walking distance) so make sure you take a look – the kids might not be interested by the adults may be. (You can even try embarrassing them by singing along to the Bee Gee tunes!)

What We Thought of Rotary Park

Our family loves to visit the park especially when the sun is shining bright and the water is sparkling. The kids enjoy running around and playing tiggy, dashing up the ramps and zipping down the slide.

Our visits are always so much more than just the playground – it’s the ice-cream, the views, and enjoying a casual stroll along the waterfront. Calming and picturesque.

How to Get to Rotary Park

Rotary Park is located at 186 Redcliffe Parade in Redcliffe, just 150m from the Redcliffe Jetty.
