What a great park!! Previously the Milton Tennis Centre and Milton Bowl this location had been an…read morearea of wasted space that did flood during the floods in 2011. I am so glad this was turned into an amazing park and not another set of apartment buildings. The park is home to the Roy Emerson Tennis Centre which has 6 courts for hire and also has lessons. The playground area is packed on the weekends as it's an a amazing area for kids. While its way more advanced then for my 10month old there is still some great places for him to crawl around but I can see that the amazing rock climbing wall, huge slide and the curling slide would be heaven for any kid. There are 4 different bbq areas with 8 total BBQ that have picnic tables around them. There is decent shade for these areas but also a large grass are perfect for a picnic if you don't want to BBQ. Kids love circling the grass area on there bikes and scooters and it's all within the parents eyesight. There is also a table tennis table and some exercise equipment. Early mornings you may even have a boot camp or personal trainer working out there. Only wish there was a water feature for kids to play in but I guess with the past flooding that may have not have worked. Oh and there are toilets onsite and a cafe which I need to still check out.

What a great little park…read more Firstly there is a sheltered kids playground which caters for all ages. Just next to that is a barbecue area complete with tables, benches and gas barbecue which is also covered. On the other side if the playground is a dog run. And what a dog run for pooch. The fenced outer circle is an obstacle course for Fido. The inner fence circle is a mini oval which is the off-leash area. All of this is next to the Woodside rugby and soccer oval. Whoever planned this deserves five stars!

I am very disappointed and astounded at the shocking customer service Go Wild centre at Strathpine…read more I contacted the centre in advance via telephone to advise that I would not be hiring a party room, but would be bringing 12 children to celebrate my son's 5th birthday. I advised that I would be utilising shop-a-dockets for 'buy one entry and receive a second free' and that I would be paying for all the children myself. I was advised that I would have to use multiple dockets and that there was a limit to two dockets per transaction. At no time did the staff member advise me that if I was utilising the shop-a-dockets on the internet, that I would only be able to use one voucher and that all other vouchers would be invalid. I arrived at the centre at 9am with 12 children (and their parents). I was confronted with a staff member at the counter arguing with me about the shop-a-dockets' validity, telling me that I would not be able to use the vouchers as they all had the same code printed on them and that I would only be able use one. I would therefore be charged full price for 10 children. Another parent presented two shop-a-dockets that had been cut out from the back of a shopping receipt. Apparently these vouchers were acceptable and I was able to use them, however I was still charged full price for 5 children. Another staff member approached the counter and advised that they had experienced the same problem recently with other customers trying to utilise the internet shop-a-docket vouchers and that he would be contacting shop-a-docket tomorrow. I can't understand why one type of voucher can be honoured numerous times and the other readily available and not valid more than once, without any such terms and conditions listed. I advised that I would also be purchasing meals for the 12 children and that they would still be receiving further funds as a result of our visit. I was very embarrassed in front of the other children's parents and other customers that had formed a queue outside the door, waiting to come in to Go Wild as it took approx. 20 mins for the staff to sort out this issue. I can't believe that the vouchers were not honoured as a token of good will and good customer service. The parents of the 12 children concerned, were appalled at the situation and told me that they would never in the future consider coming to Go Wild for their own children's birthdays. The parents advised me that I should place my complaint onto your Facebook page. I noted on your website that you say "Go Wild Activity Centre is a family-owned and locally operated business. Our friendly team includes blue-card staff and we pride ourselves on providing excellent, quality customer service that is down-to-earth and friendly. You are one of the family at Go Wild!" The reason for my complaint today, is to bring this episode to your attention so that hopefully it will not happen to other parents trying to provide a Happy Birthday experience for their child.

What is there for two recent university graduates do on a Tuesday afternoon other than chill out in…read morePerrin Park and play in the playground? Perrin Park is quite beautiful with is expansive grassy areas, footpaths, fenced area to unleash your dog, plenty of parking spaces, clean toilets, fresh play equipment (some of which is still under construction since the recent flooding), and plenty of trees and shade to rest under. Tucked away in Toowong, this park offers a place to escape. The park is deceptively big with different sections split in the middle by a little creek. There are also some quite fun bike-things to play on. And the best bonus of all is that when I visited it today, there was a mama and a papa duck and 5 little ducklings (one for each star I give this park).

This is the sort of park I wish existed when I was a kid. As it is, I love it as an adult. Why?…read moreBecause finally they've put mini-roller-coasters in parks! Well, not exactly a roller-coaster - but as close enough as we'll get for free in a public park. What is described in elegant fashion by the Totaltravel website as "a pedal powered carson on a circular track" is like a giant toy train on a wheeled closed circuit. Unlike most trains, but similar to vehicular locomotion in The Flintstones, your feet are used to power the train. As fast as you peddle you can't break the kiddie-safe speed, but it's still awesome to ride, like you're a toy human in some giant's train set. I'm not the only immature one, either. The first time I glimpsed the roller-coaster addition to the park and yelled for the driver to stop the car, my companions (in their 20s and 30s) also got out and jumped on. That meant a few of us were late to uni classes. Totally worth it. There's old-school swings (read: new, but not awesome like a giant train) in the playground and there's also a rebound wall and off-leash park for dogs. *This biased review has been brought to you by the creator of the We Should Replace Public Transport With Roller-Coasters Facebook Group.
