Westfield North Lakes Playground | Under the Sea Adventure

Take a break from shopping with the kids at Westfield North Lakes and let them play and have fun at the ‘Under the Sea’ play area. 

Westfield North Lakes Playground

If you find yourself shopping at Westfield North Lakes and need to take a break and let the kids expel some of their pent up energy then head to the outdoor play area, located conveniently near the main food court.

While the playground has a variety of equipment, it is mainly suited to toddlers and primary school aged children.

In the centre of the playground is the bespoke 9m conical tower, with plenty of climbing opportunities for those children brave enough to scale to new heights. Of course, to get back to ground-level quickly, you can escape via the twisty, tunnel slide.

Next to the tower is a toddler play fort with a sea theme on one side and fairytale on the other side. With multiple levels to explore, toddlers can test their physical skills with  climbing sections, a sliding pole and slide. You can even find QR story codes on the side of the equipment, which might be fun to listen to.

Another toddler space is located on the other side of the tower and features a mini climbing frame, doorways and windows, knobs and handles to move as well as a low hammock to sit and rock on.

A double seesaw with dolphins and sharks on the sides will entertain little ones who love to bounce up and down.

Surrounded by plenty of seating including deck chairs, stools and tables the playground is a little oasis where you can stop for a snack or enjoy a coffee while the kids’ play.

Entry to the playground is via automatic sliding doors leading from the main food court, and while the play area is mainly fenced, there is one opening, near the sliding doors, so close supervision of children is strongly recommended.

Imagination Factor at Westfield North Lakes Playground

Brisbane Kids can climb the tall tower and pop up at the top like they are emerging from a submarine then slide back down to their underwater lair.

On top of the Little Mermaid and Ugly Duckling play unit children can pretend they are sailing the high seas on a ship then dive down below to explore the ‘coral reef’. There is also the interactive stories and virtual games to enjoy on the sides of the play unit.

The large bouncy seesaw will give the sensation of riding the waves with dolphins.

Most of surface around this playground is flat allowing for easy pram and wheelchair access. While there is no specific accessible equipment there are some low-to-ground play panels, which can be accessed from ground-level.

Accessible toilets and parent rooms are available in the shopping centre, not too far from the playground (through the food court).
