    I had never heard of this place until my father suggested I join him and his partner for a wander…read morearound this park. This park is a bit of a mission to get to for anyone who does not live in the area but is worth the car mileage as it is a great place to hang out, have a picnic and roam around. I was not expecting much from this park but as soon as I entered the park, I realised how beautiful it was. There is something very serene about it, that instantly puts you at ease (so corny, I know). The park is very spacious too making it perfect for any picnic parties, it would be a lovely place to jog or walk around. When I visited the place, I even noticed people fishing from the deck over the Brisbane River, I doubt they would have caught anything good but they looked like they were having fun and enjoying the views. If it wasn't for its inconvenient location, I would visit this park more often as it really is a beauty.

    If you like taking your kids to parks with playgrounds aren't guaranteed to be crawling with kids…read morealready, this is one of the secret parks you can still get a spot in. There are many trees around and 2 main sheltered areas with plenty of tables. There is also a boardwalk type play area and a rather large general swing and tyre play area about 20 meters away from the tables. Mostly under shelter too for those hot days. Bring sunscreen, a picnic blanket and some bug spray for hotter days, but mostly it's quite breezy if you're lucky. What I love about this park is that it's situated in the middle of Sherwood Forest, where Robin Hood lives. Okay... there isn't a Robin Hood living in this forest, but we're still on the lookout for him and his men. Or my single friends are anyway. There are plenty of dads here with kids, and I keep having to tell them, it's not okay because these ones are probably taken. Besides from the nice atmosphere, there are also BBQ facilities, toilets and lots of bins in case you want to orchestrate a kids birthday party here. There is a pretty big carpark and on the weekends there is usually a coffee van parked in one of the slots for your caffeine needs early Saturday morning. I love this park because it's hidden away and not that many people know where it is yet, for those mums and dads out there looking to take their kids outdoors somewhere for free, maybe have a picnic... this is a pretty good hidden gem of a park really close to the city. Not really that super close to public transport, but it's definetely driveable.

    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.

    One of my top 5 places to hang in Jindalee. It helps that it's right around the corner from where…read moreI live. Having flooded a year ago almost exactly from the January 2011 floods, Jindalee has gone through a lot. I remember driving down to the park and seeing nothing but water. The river swelled so much that most of everything and the houses across the road had been over run by the brown muddy waters of what used to be a higher level. Flash forward to Dec 25, 2011 just a week ago and the council has made this place better and finished it with a bang. There is an awesome boat ramp with a new platoon, for you to go fishing, take your jetski (if you have one) or dingy or boat or whatever you fancy. They have concreted over the old car park and made it kind of bigger with a one way drive. Next to the car park, there is an enclosed doggy park. It's not very big and it's on a big hill which I found a bit weird, but anyway. Your dogs won't care, it's a place for them to socialise with the next breed. Hell, it's a place you can socialise, everyone loves to have a chat there. Further up the footpath there are benches, and places to have barbeques... and there is what I can only describe as being a Swedish playground. It's the kind of playground which no one understands, and the play items in the playground look more like structures from the gallery of modern art you're not allowed to touch. I think this is the only let down of the whole place because the slide is a weird thing you have to stick your legs on either side of, the swings are only for big people. It's not too friendly for kids, it's not too friendly for adults and as I saw teens as well. Kids walked around wondering what they were supposed to do (which is a bit weird even for kids) and besides the social aspect (people in Jindalee are really friendly) it's a puzzle. We might ring the council to say a friendly 'what the' as a matter of fact. Because that's what everyone there was thinking. What the hell is this thing, and couldn't you just put a normal playground in? Bit of a disappointment for my 2 kids and many other kids. Definetely worth a visit with the family. Evenings are the best time, bring your frisbee, bring your dog. Bring your social.
