    This was such a lovely and peaceful place. We took our children during the school holidays and it…read morewasn't very busy which was nice. We started out going through the environment centre, which was only small but had interesting pieces. The staff was friendly and welcoming while we were there and gave us more information and encouraged us to look into more events that Moreton Bay council rang. Afterwards we went on the Hide and Seek Children's trail which was informative and interesting, although we didn't get to see all the things that were promised. We played in the playground for a while, while the adults cooked lunch and then after lunch went on another hike through the other walkways and paths that were labelled around the area. All around it was a great way to spend the day and a way to get out of the house without costing a fortune!!

    How good is it to find a chunk of bushalnd ripe for the walking in the middle of the suburbs?…read moreDownfall Creek bushland at McDowall is like that. Right on the bustling, big Rode Road you can pull in to this reserve - also known as the Raven Street Reserve and head past the interpretive centre (open 8.30am - 4pm Mon - Fri) to walk the paths that take you deep into the bush. There are so many species of birds, mammals and reptiles here and if you head and down to the creek and you're really lucky you might spot a bearded dragon sunning itself on a rock or swimming across the creek like a tiny, prehistoric creature. Afterwartds, you can can picnic or barbecue in the reserve and kids love the adventure playground.

    Omigoshness. I look at Kidspace and think about my childhood spent roller skating across the living…read moreroom in a cramped apartment in Hong Kong and want to cry. We are so lucky in Australia to have so much space to spend on our children. When it comes to parklands, I'm pretty grateful for all the public parks across Brisbane but Kidspace in Chermside really stand out. It's been designed for all ages. There are picnic tables with BBQs and easy access toilets (including disabled facilities). For the older kids there are wide paths for riding, scootering, skating and a half sized tennis court as well. The play area is shaded and there's a great fort suitable for babies, toddlers and younger kids. Southsiders take note: This family friendly park is worth the drive.

    The 7th Brigade Park is huge, apparently one of the biggest parks in Brisbane. It runs from Newman…read moreRoad in Geebung, all the way through to Murphy Road and Chermside Shopping Centre. I have only just recently discovered this park is all connected and now I've started walking through the park to the Chermside Library or Shopping Centre. There are two playgrounds or play areas, separated by large sports fields, trees and bicycle and walk paths. At the Newman Road end of the park, there is a playground and exercise equipment, as well as BBQ areas, shelters and lots of space for large groups. There are toilets down this end too. Towards Chermside Shopping Centre, along Murphy Road, there's a huge play area called Kidspace. Kidspace covers an area approximately the size of 5 homes and includes a large undercover play area, electric BBQ's, toilets, shelters, bench tables and seating. There's also a basketball ring and half court and a tennis court with a rebound wall. There is parking at both ends, and the gates to these parking lots are open from 6am to 9pm. A network of shared bicycle/walk paths run throughout the park, and there are exercise stations along the pathway - hurdles, chin ups and sit ups to name a few. 7th Brigade Park is also dog friendly. Dogs are allowed throughout the park and there are a couple of specific off-leash areas for dogs.
